Room with an Anti-View: Not a Harbour View in Hong Kong
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.
What would you be expecting if you booked into a hotel called the Harbour View International House? Even if it does sound like some form of budget accommodation, being owned by the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, there is some expectation associated with a name like "Harbour View."
Well, you don't always get what you expect, and that's certainly the case with this view from a room in the Harbour View. This view, in case you're wondering, is not a harbor: sure, there's a strip of mirror showing us some activity on the street but most of it's just dirty concrete. According to the website, there are also rooms with views over Victoria Harbour, but perhaps it pays to ask for one of these specifically.
