The low shower head is a HUGE pet peeve and I'm only about 5'11” 😒

This might be my favorite piece from you ever. I remember staying in a motel in Paris, France. We decided to upgrade from youth hostels and find a cheap hotel because we just wanted a private bathroom. So we found a luxurious two star hotel. Our shoilet did not come with a privacy door to separate the bathroom from the bedroom, so while my travel mate was showering, the bedroom was filling up with steam. I will also not forget the lovely pungent smell of the dead rodent underneath the bed. This essay made that memory flood back and, to be honest with you, I still remember it as being the best stay of our lives because we had a private, OK semi-private, shower.

I can so relate. You had me laughing the whole time!

Oh yes, fun times. I think the most "dangerous" one I stayed in had the light switch IN the shower... The most - I don't even know what to call it. It was a very nice hotel in a very nice tourist town in a nice area. But, you entered the room THROUGH the bathroom. No door separately to the bathroom. There was a door between the bathroom and the main area, but if someone is using the bathroom, then the other person had to either be stuck in the main area until they were done, or stuck outside the room unable to come in until they were done. Yeah, we checked out early. Who on earth designed that?!

Traveling with a dog, we’ve often encountered some interesting room arrangements, because they often put you in the worst rooms if you have a dog! As a rule, we don’t stay in really budget motels, but I’ve seen many of the furniture and cord arrangements you show here! And how true is that decaf thing!?!?!
