Appearances can be deceiving.
It’s understandable that advertisers always want to put the best foot forward when it comes to whatever product or business they are representing. Still, there comes a point when that misrepresentation goes a little too far. In some cases, it can actually be pretty funny as well.
More specifically, when looking for a nice hotel to stay in, false advertising can cause some hilarious problems.
Here are 16 examples of some serious hotel fails.
1. This incredible WiFi password.
As we all know, WiFi is basically its own currency in today’s society. On the one hand, we have to give this hotel some props for trying so hard to protect the integrity of the internet connection. On the other hand, this just might be overkill.
2. A Little Bit of a Reach
You know, we can only assume that this person who designed the layout of this bathroom had all the best intentions. But then again, you know what they say about assumptions…
3. A Warm Welcome
This is a definite red flag. Also—how much does it really cost to buy three new letters and a bucket of new paint? Accidents happen but at least cover your tracks here, guys.
4. Unfortunate Design
Sometimes it’s not the hotel itself but the appliances and decorations. Nobody wants to have the bathroom trash flung all over them. Do better, people.
5. Basic Hotel Rules
While this is definitely good advice, the delivery could use a little work. We have some sympathy for this one, though. Translating is hard.
6. Customer Suggestion Box
Hey, that’s no fair! I had some really good ideas…
7. Spectacular Views!
This reminds us a little bit of when you need to go grocery shopping and you keep opening the fridge hoping some food will appear. It’s sad, but we all do it.
8. Creative Use for a Toothbrush
We don’t know whose idea this was but it’s something you can’t really un-see. The basic rule here is that toilets and toothbrushes do not mix.
9. The Cinema Experience
We applaud the idea and the effort here, we really do. The execution could use a little more work though.
10. Optical Illusion Staircase
Ok, now this one is just cruel. It’s already hard enough not to be a klutz in a new place, let alone when the stairs look like a hole into another dimension.
11. We Have a Pool!*
*We said nothing about water or being able to swim in it, though.
12. Plenty of Storage Space
Why not just nail or glue this into the wall? Why tease us like this?
13. Rest Assured, the Rooms Have Windows
Technically, they’re not lying?
14. Pay for Parking
Man, parking tickets these days are really getting unreasonable if you ask us…
15. The best “fitness center” we’ve seen
This gym actually looks like it feels to workout.
16. Going Up
Elevators are notorious for freaking people out in old hotels. Chances are they’re going to have some problems with this one.
17. Just an Ordinary Lamp
This is just a lamp, right? Because it looks suspiciously like… something else. For context, this picture was taken in Berkeley, California.
