I never heard of this phenomenon. What on earth? Do you just shit next to your bed like a prisoner (I don’t even want this for prisoners?)? I don’t see any photos on the site. Surely this isn’t that common?

I've never seen a hotel without a bathroom door either?!
Is this just US-Defaultism again?
Seen it in a recently refurbished one in central Glasgow.
Tiny room - described with "En-suite shower room with glass partitions "
Cheap. I'm sure it's just to squeeze a few more rooms in, so if the price stays low and it's clearly described, I don't see the problem.
Nope. I travel for work quite a bit, stay in a lot of hotels. The bathroom door is a shitty sliding door far more often than a regular door. It's one of the many things I hate about hotels now. All the little leds on the various detectors that light the room and flash all night is the thing that really gets me though. I keep a roll of gaff tape in my travel kit so I can tape all the lights, the shitty curtains, and whatever else I have to tape to make it dark enough to sleep in.
I haven't had too many issues lately with hotels and obnoxious lights. And I think it's because manufacturers have changed something. But every once in a while there's some device that has a pinprick hole with a blue led behind it that acts like a damn flashlight and sends a faint blue beam across the room, or if it's aimed at you:
Or get a face mask?
Lol. Yeah. I don't like the sensation of things be attached to my face and I move a lot in my sleep, so I wake up with the mask stretched across my face in uncomfortable ways.
Not even, this is just some relatively new corporate abuse masquerading as some common place thing.
They saw some shit on the Internet and it's definitely real and everywhere 🙄.
Yeah. I've traveled a lot this year, and the negative trend I've been observing here in Europe is not a lack of bathroom doors, but the fact that the showers themselves are not 360° surrounded by walls, panes or shower curtains anymore. So now there's no way bathroom floors can stay dry.
I've seen it in several hotels around Europe
But not in Europe. Checkmate.
Have seen similar in Australia. The bathrooms of some more modern hotels seem to gravitate towards using a sort of sliding door / partition system for the bathroom. I can only assume it's significantly cheaper and quicker than building actual walls and doors.
I love my wife dearly.
I don't want to watch/hear/smell when she takes a shit.
Bring back doors
My boyfriend and me have a system where one of us always has to "quickly grab something and follow after a few minutes" whenever we leave a hotel room with too little privacy.
Went with my partner to a really cute cabin for a vacation. It was a yurt, and really nice except the partition to the bathroom was just a curtain and the wall didn't go to the ceiling. It was at least behind a wall so there was a small modicum of privacy
So waaaaaaay too much cheese on both our parts lead to some very unpleasant bathroom trips and a resulting overload of senses. There was a window, fortunately, though it was fairly ineffective but we learned to excuse ourselves from the cabin when the other had to shit their brains out
sounds like your wife is already bringing her backdoor
I 100% agree with this. People don't just go to hotels with their partner. Sometimes they have to share a room with a colleague.
I don't want to shit in the same room my partner is in
I don't want to shit in the same room that I am in all night, either
Absolutely also true
I don't want to shit
True, but I would mind it less than with others.
Every time I think I know all the ways in which the US is deeply and weirdly fucked, I learn shit like this. "I need to consult this helpful website to check if the hotel I'm going to stay at has toilet doors"
Guys, are you OK over there, do you need any help?
We are not, and yes.
Is this a US thing? I live in the US, I’ve stayed at many hotels in the US, and I have never, ever seen or heard of a hotel without bathroom doors.
But no, in general we are not ok over here and could use some help removing a fascist regime.
EDIT: I just poked around on that website and it lists hotels all over the world, not just the US
Fuck that. When I travel with my family it's important that they see me shit. How else can I keep my position as patriarch?
Even if you are alone in a hotel room, having a door is very helpful if you take a very hot steamy shower. No fan can control the humidity in real time. I usually close the door when I am done and leave the fan on for a while to get the humidity out. It makes your stay more comfortable.
Do bathroom fans even exist outside of the US? I'm mostly joking, but seriously did not see a single one while staying in Japan or Europe.
They do.
It lists 9 cities I'm literally never going to see much less stay at. I also didn't see any hotels without doors named anywhere.
This is just ad spam with affiliate links to booking dot com. Fuck spammers, fuck OP and fuck third party booking site scumbags.
Edit: OP meaning the site, not of this post. Unless they're the same.
lol i once slept in a hotel with glass-doors for the bathroom, same but equally bad
I stay in hotels 20 to 40 times a year, I've only had one place with glass doors, and none with no doors. That's in every state in the West, hand the States in the Midwest, and a could in the southeast.
Do these hotels also ban minors from staying at hotels? There's a big problem if they don't.
Where is this found? I've stayed in maybe 10 hotels in California this year plus plenty in previous years (and a few in other states) and never seen this.
Is it maybe a thing in small rooms (I travel with family so never book anything with less than two beds).
I have seen pictures and videos about these strange design decisions. But I don’t know if the guests simply accepted their fate or if they complained.
I wouldn’t want to pay full price for a room with missing bathroom doors. Or a window in the wall to the bathroom.
I had to share a room with my mother... there was a door to the bathroom, but "the wall" separating the bed from the ~~douche~~ shower was frosted glass (i'm not sure if this is the right word. It allowed to see shadows through it... is grinded glass better?).
Sometimes it is better not having an Architect
Yes, frosted glass and no, not douche. Shower.
The hotel casinos are awesome because we all have to pretend to not see each other complete naked while taking a shower. All doors from the bed to the shower are glass.
Luckily, our laws demands bathroom doors. Which was a pain in the ... for my coworker. New built house, everything was ready to move in, but the contractor f-ed up the bathroom door, and they had to wait with their move until that was fixed.
Went to a real fancy hotel and was so relieved to see a door. Walked into the room and the whole fuckin wall in front of the shower and toilet was a pane of glass. Thank god I was with my S.O. but I still pooped with the lights off
I've traveled out of state about 10 times this year to 4 different states and I haven't seen one without a door.
