Have you ever had that feeling when you’re checking into a hotel or Airbnb, hoping for some rest, only to find out you’ve accidentally booked a starring role in Hotel Nightmares? If not, we’re envious – and so are the people who took the photos on this list.

Stuck in His Shower

Picture this: a man on a road trip gets stuck in his hotel room shower. To make matters worse, he’s soaking wet and completely naked. Talk about a wet and wild adventure! He had plenty of time to think about life while trying to escape. Maybe he thought about the decisions that led him to this moment or laughed at the situation.

A pool or a grassy area?

A family arrives at Motel 6, excited for their kids to play in the pool. But instead of water, they find a grassy, overgrown mess. Despite the presence of lifeguard equipment, the pool is clearly out of commission, turning their dream stay into a major letdown. The kids, armed with pool toys and sunscreen, stand in disbelief at the sight of the neglected green pit or area of grass.

A Strange Sink and Faucet

Imagine a sink with multiple faucets, including unnecessary showerheads—more amusing than functional, right? This over-the-top design involves various professionals, each missing the apparent flaw. As you stand before the perplexing fixture, you can’t help but laugh at the sheer absurdity of it all. It might make the countertop spotless, but it isn’t clear for guests who want to wash their hands.

The Not So Honeymoon Suite With No Privacy.

A honeymoon suite might be perfect for couples, but it can feel awkward for friends or colleagues traveling together. The bathroom is very close to the bedroom, which might be too personal for some guests. Picture two colleagues avoiding eye contact while one is using the toilet. While newlyweds might enjoy the romantic atmosphere, others may find the lack of privacy intrusive.

The curtains that hang behind a wall are also not ideal.

A hotel room with curtains but no window makes them pointless. While some guests might laugh it off, others might be disappointed and ask for a room change. Imagine pulling back the curtains, expecting a view, only to find a blank wall. This design makes people question whether the hotel pays attention to detail and is committed to making guests happy.

And what about the sink that has multiple faucets?

Have you ever tried washing your hands in a sink that looks more like a plumber’s dream? Picture this: lots of faucets, each for a different purpose, and showerheads aiming at you from every angle. It’s like stepping into a water-themed escape room. As you turn the knobs, trying not to get soaked, you can’t help but laugh at how ridiculous it is.

For example, there might be a vent that doesn’t open or work.

After a steamy shower, you look up at the bathroom vent, expecting it to clear the foggy mirror. But no, it’s just a decoration. You laugh, wondering if the hotel thought a fake vent would do the trick. As you wipe the steam off the mirror with your hand, an actual vent would have been much more helpful.

It’s not a nice background for breakfast.

If you walk through a hotel lobby, you might see a world map that looks a lot like the landmass of Pangea. Europe is next to Australia, and Alaska is next to Africa. You laugh at the idea of this being an educational tool for a geography class from the 1800s. It’s a funny picture, but it doesn’t help you plan your trip, especially as most hotel people travel.

The toilet paper is too far away.

You sit down on the toilet, only to realize the toilet paper holder is placed so far away that you’d need the stretchy arms of Mister Fantastic to reach it. You laugh at how impractical it is, feeling like you’re in a weird fitness challenge. The design could have been better as you stretch to grab the paper.

Interesting Salt and Pepper Shakers.

You request room service for salt and pepper shakers, expecting an uncomplicated delivery. But instead of the shakers, you get a tray with the shakers still sealed in their original packaging. You laugh, imagining what the staff was thinking: “Let them enjoy the unboxing experience.” As you wrestle with the tiny packets, you can’t help but appreciate the hotel’s attempt at being helpful, even if it doesn’t quite work.
