Whether they offer awesome freebies for guests, above-the-curve interior design, or just a refreshing sense of humor, this kind of customer care will have you clamoring to make a reservation for a hotel room, and are sure to be remembered when you leave. Check Bored Panda's list of amazingly innovative hotel designs and services below, and if you've stayed in one just as filled with creative ideas recently, add your photos at the end!

The Tv In Our Hotel Room Has Easily Accessible Hdmi And Usb Sockets
Charlotte Brine 7 years ago
BLOODY GENIUS! Especially with some of the lower budget hotels! Pros: Dirt cheap meaning more money for alcohol. Cons: last redecorated in 1971, still provides items such as, a mysterious trouser press, a TV with a bigger backside than your mother-in-law, a hair dryer that's power barely matches your own breath blowing room temp air and a kettle that holds approx half of a child's tea party sized tea cup of water.

MartinTheVlogger 7 years ago
All respect to being "green" but many hotels in EU does the same think these days, and honestly i do believe it is more about cost saving - coz cleaning of 1 room cost them more, then voucher for free beer or vine or 6$ out from your bill... but lets call it WIN WIN

Maybe a human hasn't ever barked all night but yelling at traveling companions is close enough I think. And I am sure several humans have drunkenly pissed and s**t on carpets in most hotels.

You could get a cream to stop that itch. I think you need to reassess what type of hotel company you keep.

The one that i find stupid is we trade out the Bible (the perfect example of how to treat others) for the UN guidelines that it frequently ignores so they don't make the small faction dictators upset with them.

Yes, because there's nothing in the bible that wouldn't be very frowned upon today *sigh*. How about "To each their own as far as bedside drawer complimentary reading is concerned"?
