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.

Well, the scene outside the window of the Marriott Baltimore Waterfront would have been worthy of the coveted HotelChatter Killer View honor (and one if its views actually was worthy), but unfortunately the hoity-toity Four Seasons has to come to the party and ruin it for everyone.

The previously not-so-bad view of the Inner Harbor now has a big ol' Four Seasons Residences in the works (the building has no hotel rooms -- just private residential living). The construction is slated for completion in Spring 2009, but as a lovely Four Seasons staffer said on the phone, "that's not guaranteed."

Whether construction is finished or not, the structure will still be there -- which we suppose is not so bad, considering you can still see the water and the boats and such. At least the cranes and noise won't be there forever.
