But how would you know until it's too late and you've already checked in? Doesn't seem to be a very effective way of achieving this... Just means my mate and I wouldn't go back to that hotel again.

For big chains, quirks like that become known.

...like, the building adjacent your La Quinta is a diner, period. "La Quinta, Spanish for 'next to Denny's'"

There are photos online and video tours of every hotel room on the planet. Check before booking.

  • I saw an interview with this person. Often the photos of rooms will be taken from the door-frame of the bathroom looking in or out. So not obvious if there is an actual door.

  • There will be photos of an example room, with zero guarantee the room you get will be the same.

    • Typically chain hotels are very careful about making sure everything in a picture is representative of the room to avoid this exact conflict.

      Often this does mean that the pictures are lacking.
