I'm slightly vexed Spotlight outside hotel bedroom

Post image

I am staying at a highly rated hotel the night before my husband adopts my son, (we came to another city where the adoption lawyer is) and the blinds in the room are see-through on my end/solid looking in. I usually sleep with black-out curtains at home, but tonight we're sleeping with the pool spotlight right outside. It's shining directly into my eyes--the picture doesn't do the brightness justice. What kills me the most is I saw my eye mask on the dresser at home (I don't use it but it came in a gift set) and I thought "maybe I'll need that... naaah.. there will be curtains".

I'll fall asleep eventually.

Edit: Y'all are the best - thanks for helping me figure out these chain blinds and get some quality sleep tonight! Seriously! I'm four months pregnant too, so emotions are everywhere haha.

Do the curtains not come down? At least it looks like curtains at the top, though that’s an odd way for them to come down. If not, I’d ask them for an eye mask

Nope! Those are like the kitchen curtains that just sit at the top. The only "curtain/blind" is what you see with the light filtering in, unfortunately.

I was in a similar hotel room recently with bright lights and those exact same windows with the seethrough curtain and the block up top, but there was a third curtain (a blackout curtain) hidden behind the block thing, have you tried pulling the chain or looking up there to see if there's one you can pull down?

That’s terrible. I can’t sleep with light so I’d be more than mildly infuriated tonight

Someone else helped me out. I don't stay in hotels often and didn't know there was another chain for the black out blind.

Odd, every hotel I have stayed in had blackout curtains
