People are sharing their horrible hotel mistakes, including brown bath water and a boarded-up balcony
The best part of a vacation is often checking into a chic hotel and making the most of the blissful surroundings you can call home for the week ahead.
But sometimes resorts don’t look quite the same as in the brochure.
Although disappointing, the bizarre things spotted in hotels can often be funny.
In a nice gallery, Bored Panda has collected images of disgruntled vacationers around the world who were unhappy with their less-than-luxury digs.
From bizarrely placed window fixtures to illegible safety signs, these hotels need drastic improvements.
The gallery also includes a photo of a bath filled with brown water and a swimming pool with an eerily small entrance.
Clean water is essential when staying in a hotel, but one guest was unlucky enough to find his bath water turned brown
One holidaymaker booked a room with a balcony, only to find the view completely boarded up.
In another case, a tourist was annoyed because the curtains in their hotel room did not fit the length of the window frame, ruining their chance of a good night’s sleep.
Elsewhere, another tourist opened his curtains to reveal the unglamorous view of the parking lot.
Safety issues were another concern for other holidaymakers after they heard the window opened from downstairs to the outside and their room was eight floors up.
Here, FEMAIL shares some of the shocking discoveries people made while staying in a hotel…

A good night’s sleep was not possible for the unfortunate guest, who discovered that the curtains did not fit through the entire window frame
Instead of a view of the pool or an exotic beach, a hotel guest got the unglamorous view of the parking lot from his hotel room
