NYC quest for a real bathroom door

[Anonymous]

Does this exist? Hilton Honors hotel near Times Square with a real bathroom door. Nothing fancy--Hampton, Hilton Garden, DoubleTree, whatever.

Do some hotels have those sliding barn door things in only some of their rooms but not all, or if I see a photo with one in it, that means that whole hotel is cursed with them?

I have never been in a hotel room that didn't have a bathroom door.

OP means a swinging door as opposed to a barn door.

I'm confused - are you okay with a barn door style door? Those are getting more popular. I've never been to a hotel without some kind of door to the bathroom.

Who doesn’t put a door on the shitter?

I think a bathroom door is a building code requirement.

No, I hate the barn doors. I'm looking for a normal hinged door that closes and provides privacy.

Sliders are the norm in small spaces like NYC

Look on the hotel and room website before you book and see what the bathroom door looks like if you can tell.

Probably only going to find it in luxury priorities like Waldorf Astoria for Hilton.

Or, call the hotel and ask.

We stayed at the Empire Hotel (near Lincoln Center on the UWS) after closing on the sale of an apartment earlier than we could close and get into the new apartment. They had hinged doors.

Hampton Inn Times Square with the frosted plexiglass sliding door right next to the bed...ugh

While we’re at it, can we get an exhaust fan in every hotel bathroom???!

Tell us more about the oh so relevant apartment closing timing.

While I’d love that too, it’s one more thing they’d have to fix.

I only stay in hotel rooms with my kids, but even then I hate the barn door.

Yes, for tried-and-true hinged doors...more private and quiet.
And another thing, stop with the room windows into the bathrooms; it's Las Vegas tacky. Like having a mirror on the ceiling above your bed, or even a round bed.

OP, I think you're too uptight and anal retentive to travel. Stay home.
