Hotel Photos That Make Us Question the Sanity of Otherwise Reasonable People

Tabasco Sauce, Anyone?

Hats off to any hotel that offers something like this! It's a perfectly crafted, thumb-sized Tabasco bottle that goes with whatever we can imagine. You can use them as a keychain, as a gift, as a centerpiece on the desk, or in your bag for food emergencies.

As this is a single serving, we hope it will also make a mix of the other twelve flavors, ideal for oysters, wings, ribs, or steaks. Most importantly, it contains the perfect combination of vinegar, Tabasco pepper, and salt to spice up any meal. It's almost a privilege to own something like this because Tabascos used to be considered a luxury item.

Pizza Fetish

Pizza lovers can only dream of having such a delivery in bed. For some, this sounds almost impossible and most will probably never do it. That being so, these two are living the dream! Who doesn't like pizza, right? But if your partner doesn't like those carb-heavy treats, wouldn't that be an advantage for you?

In most places, pizza has long been a popular choice for parties. The variety of flavors, toppings, and sizes makes them a very tasty and always reliable meal. One can rarely go wrong when ordering this meal at a hotel, whether it's for a big party or just a casual get-together.

Catwalk in the Elevator

A cute top, painted nails, natural make-up, accessories, and a girly sweater can be the perfect combination for a pretty outfit. We've seen this classic at least once in our lives. But we must also not forget that there are different forms of hotel outfits, and your choice of dress should depend on the occasion too.

We are free to wear what we feel comfortable and confident in. After all, respect and individual preferences go hand in hand. Catwalks can take place in any hotel because the outfits are varied and the people have different statutes, attitudes, and moods. Just have fun and do what you want.

A Non-Smoking Ashtray

When it says that it is a non-smoking hotel, we can easily understand that and we agree with that. Usually, smoking in public places and common areas is prohibited in such hotels. It's not difficult to follow the rules. But if the authority signals us with a clean ashtray, how should we react? That's very confusing.

Maybe they did it on purpose to have a bit of fun and create confusion. Nonetheless, prospective guests should call them directly to know their policy. In the end, even when you spot ironic signs like this one, your best bet is always to ask permission first.

A Final Check

Business and leisure tourists can usually count on luxury hotels when it comes to throwing a party. They can prepare everything for us, even immediately, if we only wish. Some hotels even rent designer clothes on request. That way, guests are sure to enjoy themselves and have fun - just like this girl here!

She has put together a fabulous outfit. Who could go wrong with this flattering dress, stilettos, bag, and hairstyle? And her cool drink makes the picture even more perfect. Whether it's a family reunion, a get-together with friends, or an official event, we can be sure she rocked it.

What Took You So Long, Mister Platypus?

Platypuses swim gracefully while hunting underwater. However, they are one of the most venomous aquatic mammals and the male platypuses can deliver toxic blows to "enemies" using their sharp stringers. While it's common for hotel staff to fold towel swans to pleasantly surprise their guests, we are not sure who on earth had the creative zeal to create this – a towel platypus seated on the commode.

Also, it's been sitting on the toilet for hours it seems, as the human guests wait for their turn to shower and wash. Not to mention that it sits comfortably on its "throne" while reading a cruise brochure!

Taste the Bed

When it's busy outside and you have a lot of errands to run, sometimes it's best to lie down, close your eyes, and recharge. There's nothing wrong with relaxing and unwinding. Just look at this girl—the photographer even encouraged her to pose with her tongue out!

Trying out the comfort of the bed is one of the best ideas in a hotel. Laying down on a comfortable mattress can be such a pleasant experience. However, we think the girl sticking her tongue out has a playful attitude, as her eye gaze suggests she is not at least aggressive to the photographer capturing the moment.

Goodbye, Mr. Alligator

We're not sure if it's an alligator or a crocodile. But this towel artwork is cool and creative. The hotel staff seemingly has a quirky sense of humor. It could also be that some parents placed the towel artwork there to play a prank on their children.

In any case, alligators are least expected on hotel beds. They live in both fresh and saltwater and prefer a humid environment. Since this alligator has been exposed to humans and the aridity of the world, we guess we can say goodbye to him. See ya later, Mr. Alligator! Sorry, we just had to do that.

A Coconut Weathervane

Whoever thought of using a coconut as a weathervane in a top hotel is a genius! That way, anyone passing by can see how the weather is affecting the strong coconut. This is arguably one of the most advanced and accurate weather systems in both sunny and rainy seasons.

The coconut tree is strong enough to withstand external forces. It is even called the tree of life. In Kochi, the Indian southwestern coastal city where this hotel is located, coconut is an important part of their culture and food habits. This is why the unconventional weathervane has been introduced by the authorities.

Turning Opinions into Garbage

Since when did a complaint mailbox and a paper shredder become the same? This hotel authority decided to use a Staples shredder as a suggestion box and it's hard to overlook the irony here. Probably they used a nonfunctional shredder on purpose to bring a smile to their guests' faces, or they just don't take the customer experience seriously enough.

If the former is the case, we recommend they use a proper suggestion box instead as this could lead to unwanted fracas in the hotel. And if it's the latter, then it's a bit disappointing. Customer feedback is an important key to progress, folks!

Eww!

Maybe you tried to read that twice to understand the blurred word. Most of us wonder if the hotel room we book is as clean as we want it to be. We can even question the author's intent—whether he was just trying to make fun or if he's genuinely concerned that something unclean is going on here.

Whatever it is, it's best if you ask and be honest. Remember that guests always have the right to ask to know the truth. In addition, hotels are required by law to clean each room before letting another guest in. We don't want to end up among those rare stories.

A Bucketful of Coke

We love buckets of freshly roasted chicken, especially when we are hungry. But how about a bucket of coke or lemonade? We'd like to think that this guy is up for long hours of hanging out and driving, and he was desperately longing for a sip of cola.

He came prepared with a bucket. Vending machines like this are popular across the world because they bring a lot of convenience to consumers. Who doesn't need a drink, especially flavored drinks, when they are thirsty? However, people should always remember to limit the number of sugary drinks per day. This guy seemingly can't get enough of it.

Is It Clean at All?

This sign by the pool is not difficult to understand and follow. However, we can't stop thinking about how this sign came into existence. Most likely someone already did it before the hotel authorities had a chance to put it up. We have a lot of respect for whoever cleaned the mess up.

So, folks, if you have got diarrhea, you'd best postpone your bathing plans in a common area swimming pool. The owners don't want to spoil the fun of their fellow swimmers. And please don't forget that this is very unsanitary. One person with the germs can contaminate the entire swimming pool.

Get up and... Where's the View?

One of the first things people check when checking into a new hotel room is the window and balcony. We love the natural light, the view, and the fresh air some rooms and suites can offer us. There's a reason why oceanfront and hill-view rooms are more expensive. We can say that was also the expectation of the man in this photo.

However, we can almost hear his disappointment. The only thing he could do was stare at the blank wall with a confused look. The curtains, in fact, only served as a cruel complement. Maybe they will discuss this with customer service.

Such a Waste!

Toilet paper consumption statistics are alarming, revealing that approximately 270,000 trees are either disposed of in landfills or flushed down daily globally. Single-use toilet paper accounts for around 10% of this figure, which is equivalent to 27,000 trees per day or 15 million trees each year.

However, the person going about his business in this hotel bathroom was seemingly not concerned about the giant waste of our natural resources. Also, we think that the toilet paper holder was positioned in a bad way. While we expect hotel rooms to be elegant and functional, some can be downright cruel.

They Don't Want Guests to Use Wi-Fi

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Do you see what we did there? We corrected the spelling and found the word as one of the longest in the English dictionary. But what did the hotel do? They used that word as its Wi-Fi password. The problem: the spelling is not the same as that in the dictionary!

We bet that the system confirmed that this password is a strong one when it was issued. There are few users at home and owners always have some control, but a hotel password is different. These passwords shouldn't be longer than six characters. Also, why annoy your guests by setting a nonsensical word as the Wi-Fi password?

Mirror Selfies Are Trendy

While "selfie" is a relatively modern word, the very first selfie was taken back in 1839 by American photographer Robert Cornelius. The first mirror selfie was taken by Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia in 1913. Since then, self-portrait photographs, a form of beautified self-representation, have fascinated people for decades.

This trio immersed themselves in the infectious tradition of taking selfies. It's always worth taking pictures in front of a mirror in a hotel. The combination of a smartphone and clean mirrors usually results in a great photo, especially if you take it with friends or family. They got into a selfie-ready position and snapped it away like a pro!

Happy Honey What?

Happy Honeymoon? Happy Moom Honey? It may take us two, three, or more attempts to read and understand it properly. But without wanting to spoil the romantic mood, we want to give credit to whoever designed the bed with the roses and a nice towel animal.

Well, the creator meant "Happy Honeymoon", but the last 'n' accidentally took the form of an 'm.' Probably they did it on purpose, maybe to make it seem funny, or if our assumptions are correct, it was a tiny yet hilarious human error. Again, we don't want to spoil the mood, so let's just leave it because, as always, it's the thought that counts.

"One Size" Doesn't Fit All

As hard as we try, the quote "one size fits all" doesn't apply to all. As this snap suggests, the one-size-fits-all bathrobe was not enough to cover the body of the male guest. Hotels usually ensure that robes of different sizes are at the disposal of their guests. In most cases, you might find one that perfectly suits your physique. However, the picture shows that this can go wrong too.

At least the guy looks rather stylish. He looks like he's about to make a new fashion statement. We genuinely feel sorry for his companion though. It looks like she wrapped a bed sheet around her body.

Come Right Now

It takes a certain amount of courage and strength to be so direct. However, the statement here can be interpreted differently. Whatever they meant by that, we don't think that's risqué humor on display. Reputable hotel chains have industry-standard policies in place to ensure their guests do not come across anything unpleasant or inappropriate.

However, according to a 2018 survey, almost half of all Americans believe it is better to get intimate at hotels than at their homes. The newness factor, starting from the fresh linen to the unused toiletries, adds to the fun. Perhaps the authorities tried to capture the mood of hundreds of Americans.

Instagram-Perfect

Top hotels around the world are now offering selfie vacation packages that are aimed at selfie-obsessed guests snapping away as many photos as possible. This helps the hotels get free promotions on social media. Some even offer free one-night stays for anyone who tags the establishment in their social media posts.

Likewise, many have tried to capture the perfect selfie to share on social media. But few have managed it perfectly. This girl managed to capture it right though! She has portrayed her figure perfectly and the background is also easily recognizable as a cozy room. We must add that she's worked hard for getting the perfect body.

The Mummy Returns

We think this could be a costume or a joke. Surely there are more fun topics to talk about than real mummies in the sarcophagus - right? Around 2,600 BC, the Egyptians started mummifying their dead, and the staff at this hotel were probably too fascinated with the idea of mummification.

If this photo is a joke, then whoever came up with it managed to amaze us and make us smile. Suppose there is a person in this structure who wants to play a prank on people, for example, the maid. It's hard for us to imagine how shocking would it be for anyone to see this upon entering the room.

Abstract Mirror Art

This guy thought the mirror image was so funny that he posted it on Twitter to let the world know. Maybe he's not only complaining about the poor workmanship of the mirrors but also taking a look at how perfectly his facial features are matched. We just think this unique mirror-in-the-mirror motif is just crazy.

Hotel rooms follow a certain pattern to install bathroom mirrors for each room. They also place them in places where the light can be reflected particularly well and advantageously. Not many people know this, but it makes sense, which is why we can almost always see our reflection clearly in the mirrors.

Stop! There's Lava Everywhere!

The "climb" to the booked hotel room can be an exciting journey, even if it is short. But when the journey is through molten lava, that's a whole different story. A real adventure!

Jokes aside, floor art using anamorphic techniques can be mind-bogglingly illusive. Just like this lava carpet, we can set up any pattern in our rooms. It can range from the simplest to the most complicated and no one can complain. These artworks turn plain and mundane floors into valuable advertising spaces. Such designs seemingly 'sink' below the floor surface or 'float' over it. Would you dare to put your step in the lava?

Are You Enjoying Your Trip?

Partying together in hotel rooms is always a fun idea, but we can't deny that it can get messy at times. There are always situations that not only consist of laughter but can also sometimes cause concern, complaints, and even anger, as you can see from the woman's facial expression here.

Trolleys in hotels are also called luggage trolleys. We owe this invention to Sylvan Goldman, a supermarket entrepreneur. He is also the man behind the shopping carts. Maybe the woman wanted to drive the car one last time before going back to her room. Security forces and staff were certainly not so enthusiastic about this idea.

Welcome to Hogwarts

Hotel card keys have a magnetic layer that contains the guest's most important information. The door lock is triggered once the sensor verifies the magnetic stripe. This is now one of the most practical inventions in the world. Great that we can even reach Hogwarts if only the hotel allows it.

This guest is lucky enough to get a Platform 9¾ room. With his secured card, all he has to do is jump into the next elevator as quickly as possible. Oh, along with his luggage. The magic room will reveal itself with a bit of skill. You just have to believe in it.

Boys Just Wanna Have Fun

Boys being boys! Their girlfriends can probably think of a hundred possible reasons why these guys are so keen to stay in the hotel room together. But we don't think there's anything to worry about in this case, as these two buddies just wanted to strengthen their friendship and enjoy some time away from their partners.

Boys love it uncomplicated, far away from drama and jealousy. We almost know that they just chatted a bit about expulsion from the garden of Eden and then had a drink afterward. Also worthy of a special mention is this perfect pose, apparently inspired by the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

What a Spectacular View!

One of the first things one enjoys when entering a hotel room is the view from the window. Whether it's the morning breeze or the evening lights, the view from the room can be a highlight of an overnight stay in a hotel. The bedroom should be a quiet place where you can switch off and relax.

The windows of a bedroom must create a perfect connection between the interior and the outside world. But how is that supposed to work with this magnificent view? We just hope that the guests didn't stay here long or only booked the room to sleep in at night.

Double Emergency Exit

Which exit to take? This floor gives us two choices, but neither of them are doors. Who knows, maybe one of them will take us to another dimension. Maybe one of those "exit" doors will lead us to a place filled with candy and rainbows. Alternatively, we can just use that door in case of an emergency.

Putting jokes aside, emergency exits are important components of structural designs. They should be identifiable and secure, with the quickest way out available at all times. Let's consider the benefits of having two exits—double the path, double the fun, and double the precautions.

In No Mood for Shower

Most bathrooms are generally fitted with a shower. However, some bathroom fixture designers fail to consider the size of the shower and the potential height of people who may use it in the future. This man seems a victim of such careless designs. We can almost hear his sigh of disappointment.

Despite this, he continued his adventure through the mini-shower as he should. Hats off to the other guests who have experienced the same thing. We guess that not everyone who used this hotel bathroom could take a proper shower. This man seemingly didn't enjoy his shower, and he took a selfie to capture the moment of disappointment.

Ice Ice Lobby

"Ice Ice Baby" is an instantly catchy tune for most, as it takes us back to the 90s. This elevator sign could pass for Vanilla Ice's personal hotel elevator. Or maybe even a mysterious ice dispenser is integrated into the elevator.

Whatever is going on inside, we hope that the passengers will understand the instructions here and press the buttons correctly. Anyway, that caption is a good mix of humor and confusion, but at least an emergency button would be the most important thing on an elevator. Short breaks and power outages happen occasionally, so it's important to understand the purpose of each button, including the "ICE" button.

Ophidiophilia

Although humans have evolved to fear snakes, some people are so fascinated by snakes that they put them in their beds like stuffed animals. This man could be one of those few ophidiophiles who love those elegant and sparkling predators. If these are his pets then there is nothing to fear.

It's amazing how some establishments allow such exotic pets in their rooms. It's possible that a pet-friendly hotel accommodating pets could also permit animals like ferrets, birds, or even snakes, but it's important to confirm with the hotel before making any assumptions. Consider requesting a ground-floor room near an exit for convenient outdoor access.

Explained It So Well

Hotels have almost endless possibilities to explain do's and don'ts with creative signs and to send messages to their customers. We've all seen signs like this once or twice in our lives. Guests will interpret this differently. And while smart people will almost instantly get it, others will still not understand the humor here.

Of course, there will always be people who take every word literally. They will probably wonder how much a horse weighs and if that has anything to do with the things listed. Instead of pondering the possibilities of leading a horse into the elevator, we should just appreciate their sense of humor.

Rent A Fish

Not the clownfish, but the goldfish tops the list of the friendliest fish ever. They are good-natured and very caring. Keeping them as pets can be an enjoyable and relaxing experience. The presence of a living being is important to help us feel connected to the outside world.

A goldfish looking you in the eye is better than having no one to do it. It's also a lot better than not having anyone to talk to and share life with. However, many hotels have aquariums in rooms as these glass tanks reduce stress and anxiety. Why charge for something which is a part of the room furniture?

Watch out for Surprise Guests

Surprise guests are always fun and exciting, but this hotel warned us otherwise. They gave a short warning and provided further information about the guest, which is a monitor lizard. A monitor lizard's bite can cause severe pain. Although their venom is not deadly for humans, a bite from a surprise guest can inflict great pain.

At first, we thought it might be a celebrity we were dying to see, but it's just the unexpected appearance of a lizard. Although it reads that she is friendly and harmless and that as a special guest, would you like a lizard to accompany you while having fun in the pool?

Contemporary Dress against a Retro Background

There are many ways to have fun during a hotel stay these days. Sometimes it's best to sit down and rest for a while. This girl looks pretty relaxed as she settles into her hotel room and poses for a photograph. The photographer just used the perfect setting and low-key lighting to capture this perfect snap.

With her inch-long heels and her color-coordinated outfit, she oozes confidence. However, we think some ruffles, draping, and lace could create that ostentatious and exaggerated look typical of the Victorian-era fashion scene. As the room has a retro vibe, we believe she could wear a high-necked dress instead.

Conference Time Means Selfie Time

From the badge on her chest, it's evident that the woman is headed for a conference. But before things get hectic, it's time for a few selfies. After all, everybody needs a break in between boring sessions of keynote speeches. What better way to spice up a boring conference than with a selfie? She just found the perfect pose and expression.

Making the best dress choices by wearing combinations that go together and complementing that with the right makeup is essential for business meetings and conferences. This woman's choice of business casual classics is commendable. Such perfection calls for a selfie, and some me-time.

Space Problems? Not with Us!

Exploiting the available space requires a mix of practicality and creativity. Although this hotel room furniture set might seem pragmatic, the interior designers failed to come up with a creative solution.

Making the most of available space can sometimes be difficult, especially when you're doing it for others. However, this is unacceptable and cannot pass as a hotel room in which guests would like to rest and relax. That foldable bed squeezed between the sofa and the bed is also not ideal for tall people. The mirror is a good addition, but it's too much of a hassle to reach there.

Access Blocked

We have no idea what the extra towel rail is for, which is blocking the exact space where the toilet is. We're also not sure if that was intentional. Whether that was the case or not, the bathroom designer has a lot to explain here.

However, one can at least still use the toilet when Mother Nature calls. Even if it probably won't be the most convenient way to do that, they can bend a little and sit on that commode, while also "thanking" the designer for that extra hassle. Imagine you're stuck in that hotel room and have to use the toilet. That would be a nightmarish experience.

A Bear in My Bathroom!

Hotel managers have received many complaints because guests have found unwanted things in their rooms. According to a 2019 eHotelier survey, these complaints make up nearly 10 percent of the total complaints in a year. But what if the concern is a bear? Imagine you sleep well, wake up, go to the bathroom, and meet a bear cub.

We wonder if we would then find the time and energy to call the staff or run out of the room immediately. Nonetheless, bear cubs are reportedly friendly, even toward humans. Black bear cubs even have dog-like behaviors, so take a deep breath and calm down.
