Hotels are meant to be places of comfort, relaxation, and style — but sometimes, the design choices leave guests more confused than impressed. From doors that won’t open fully because of misplaced furniture, to windows looking straight into bathrooms, some hotels manage to turn a simple stay into a hilarious or downright awkward experience. In this post, we’ve rounded up 15+ hotel design decisions that left guests completely dumbfounded — and you won’t believe some of these actually made it past the planning stage.

At least for the guests, they make for unforgettable stories — and for the rest of us, they’re pure entertainment.
