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.

Rooftops are never pretty (with or without tenement laundry) and The Merchant Hotel in Belfast, Ireland is just the latest in our Anti-View collection.

The Notorious Meg dropped this photo into the HotelChatter  Flickr Pool along with dozens of other snapshot from hotels around the world that we encourage you to scope out.

In fact, of all the photos Meg contributed this is probably the ugliest. And we can't believe we are about to say this but its kinda the prettiest rooftop view we ever did see. It looks like there is a piece of art on the wall and at least the other rooms get to look out at some potted topiaries.

To be fair, that isn't a room view, but a hallway view.  I thought it was quite pretty, actually, but some of the rooms might overlook that stretch of roof.  While my actual room had decent views, there were not many windows and they were quite high and small.  That's what you get for turning an old bank into a hotel.
