Most hotels do not have fans in their bathroom. Which is also gross post shower.
This drives me crazy.

First of all, when you use the toilet, you then need to come out of the room to wash your hands, which I just don’t like, especially during the night. Secondly, maybe this is silly of me, but I like a little privacy to put on my make up. I don’t need my husband and kids as an audience.

Disagree. Wash your hands in the tub, NP.
Your DH and DC don't know what you look like, by NOW??

We have been on a road trip, and discovered the Hilton brand called Tru. They’re pretty minimalistic and the rooms are small, but it’s the first hotel I’ve stayed in where it actually feels like someone who had actually stayed in a hotel gave some thought to the design. I looked it up on line and that is the case. They’re not luxurious, but perfect for one night or two as you pass through a place.

It does seem like older high end hotels are the ones with no towel hooks, etc. When those hotels were built, they assumed they would be changing the towels daily.

This. How hard is it to add a few extra hooks?
Especially since they want you to re-use your towels. I’m happy to use the same towel several days in a row, but if there’s no way to hang it so that it actually dries, I’m requesting fresh ones.
Yes! I can't tell you how many hotel bathrooms have no hooks near the sink to hang face towels. I usually wind up hanging it off a knob or drawer, and then ask for more fresh ones bc that doesn't work.
Also, BOTH sides of the bed need to have a bedside table/shelf WITH OUTLETS.
And I would love to see built-in nightlights in the bathroom. I hate having to turn on blazing lights when I have to pee in the middle of the night.

In more recent years, I assume the same about the stupid trend of rain shower heads attached to the ceiling. If you have any quantity of hair, a soft rain shower on the ceiling is unusable for washing your hair. It will take twenty minutes to rinse out shampoo. Some guy probably thought it was a great idea and should have test run it with the other half of the population.
OP here. OMG yes the rain shower heads. I don’t want the water to fall equally on the back of my head and the front of my face! What’s wrong with angled shower heads?

The lighting is inexcusable, I agree OP.
I also agree with the rain shower head mounted 13 feet high. So you want to save on water? Fine, I'll leave the water on for 11 minutes rinsing out my thick long hair. Stupid.

No, it's how they save on their water bill. Those soft rains add up. Ditto for the counter space - minimal space, much less cleaning, costs them less money.

The lack of counter space is always ridiculous.

We hated the hotel bathroom over we had over holiday travels. There was a TV mounted right where you would expect towel hooks to be. We couldn't believe it
