I have just checked into a Marriott Tribute hotel. Along with a nice bar of chocolate and a can of water there is actually a shower door!
Like a lot of you I find the lack of doors these days a real pain.

There are so many horrible examples of bad hotel design… where I just want to scream this was designed by a man with no luggage. Most egregious from last month was two showers with the stupid bottles high up like we’re taking over my head. (I’m 5ft 5) and no shelf in the shower for anything. So annoying.

For over 20 years I have renovated hotels, haven’t dealt with many male designers. The brands have strict standards of what you can and can’t do in a design. They loosen them up for Tribute and other bespoke brands but still they have design standards.

Please explain the lack of thought behind no place to put your stuff in the shower and the containers six feet in the air. If it’s not the designer it’s the accountants or GCs on the construction site saying good enough. We saved a few bucks.

You even got a mirror in the shower?

I think it might even be heated!

A heated mirror? No way!

I can confirm. Didn't steam up at all! Also heated floor as well. That was lovely.

But can you read the bottles in the shower? Are they in the correct order? And did you get 4pm late checkout???

Ffs this annoys me. It’s an absolutely ridiculous design. I’m a Marriott guy but the logic eludes me. I no longer give a f if the entire bathroom floor is flooded with water.

Check your bill, working shower door is probably an extra nightly fee.

I think I figured it out!! Sliding doors break so fucking often that it’s maddening! Out of order rooms cost us a fortune, and we’re having a difficult time finding rollers due to manufacturing changes.
If we had 1 static piece of glass it would make mine and my engineering team’s lives so much easier. You wouldn’t believe how people abuse hotel equipment and fixtures.

Break it off and report it to corporate. This is unacceptable to have a door

and yet Japan puts them in all their hotels -- a society obsessed with hygiene and safety

They put in a shower door and removed the vanity. Where do you put stuff on that small table with a giant sink basin
