Booking a hotel room is always a dicey proposition. We live in the Internet Age, and supposedly you can research a hotel before your stay to get a sense of what it’s like. But we all know that how a hotel looks online can be very different than how it is in real life. We’ve all showed up to a hotel only to learn that a “continental breakfast” is actually just granola bars and stale coffee. Or “smoke free rooms” is more of a suggestion than a rule. Or “working jacuzzi” is instead a “working jacuzzi that gives you MRSA.”

Here are 15 people who got burned by a truly awful hotel design. Next time you travel, bring a tent and a sleeping bag. (via Bored Panda)
