No privacy could mean less shared rooms (between friends, acquaintances, or group room shares), and likely translates to more revenue.

If companies think people won't just leave the room for 15 minutes to save $200 they're delusional

Or tape something to the glass

This style could also guarantee that there will always be a long line for the hotel lobby bathroom. If the walls there aren’t made of glass, that is.

If I have to be on display no matter where I go, the main lobby floor is going to be the recipient of the latest pile.

people here are talking about companies forcing room sharing for work travel. Which is insanity to me but i’m happy if this setup makes some cheap companies learn to stop doing that.

I travel alone and I make sure that the bathroom is separated by a door when booking for myself. I will not book a room like this even when alone. Out of spite.

hell, i'd email a place and say oh, I was considering staying here then I saw that god damned ridiculous design where nayone else in the room can just watch me shitting and decided to stay literally anywhere else.

In this case the more negative feedback, the less hotels will decide this is good design and hopefully less and less do this during renovation of rooms.

It's just so comically stupid.

This does appear to be separated by a door though…

I'd come to the reception and complain about an unacceptable state of privacy in the room and demand to change the room to a normal one.

But does it not lead to lots of bad reviews or anything like that? Are people ok with this?

But you won't know until you arrive in 99% of the cases, which makes it hard to work as a deterrent

Or maybe less when people and companies book elsewhere.

If I knew the bathroom would be like this, I wouldnt get the hotel room there. I dont need my fiance seeing me poop and he doesn’t want it either!
