Room with an Anti-View: From A Blackpool Castle Looking At ... A Wall?

Where: Queen's Promenade, Blackpool, United Kingdom, FY2 9AA

You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.

Be warned, however, that not every room in a hotel shaped like a castle has castle-like qualities. And so it is at the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool, England. This is the view from Room 859, and as the disgruntled guest had to say:

Yes, that's another room less than a metre away. With the lack of daylight coming in, and the lack of privacy even if you left the curtains open to let a wee bit light in, I felt like I was in a battery cage.

There probably are rooms at the Norbreck that do have a nice view, but if they try to check you into 859, just run.
