Renaissance Stanford Court's View is Entirely Uninspiring

Where: 905 California St [map], San Francisco, CA, United States, 94108

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.

Perhaps our favorite part of this photo we found in askpang's Flickr photostream was that it was presented entirely without comment. The caption below this entirely uninspiring view from his window at the Renaissance Stanford Court in San Francisco merely reads: "Stanford Court Hotel, San Francisco. Room 307."

According to its website, the hotel actually just emerged from a $35 million transformation "melding its rich history with the modern conveniences and contemporary touches of today" — but perhaps that only applies to the inside. And yet! The hotel's website promises "breathtaking views of the City and the Bay and luxurious surroundings," but we suppose that only applies to, like, most of the rooms. We certainly hope we'd get a breathtaking kickback on our room rate if we walked into our room to find a view like that when we were expecting one of the Bay.

Rooms start around $134 — and make sure you stay away from room 307.
