Room With an Anti-View: Ugly Roof Syndrome in Dublin
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.
Aptly described by a guest as a "non-view", this is what you'll see out of some of the rooms of the Camden Court Hotel in Dublin. Camden Court's a pretty big hotel with 264 rooms plus 12 meeting rooms, and an indoor pool--we're not sure what's under this ugly roof here, but perhaps it's the pool, or some of the larger meeting rooms--whatever the cause of this unimpressive flat space, we're definitely labeling it an anti-view.
However, it's not all bad news at Camden Court. For one, they have recently introduced wireless broadband access which is available throughout the hotel (not just in public areas)--although we're not sure that it's complimentary (yet). We hope they're working on it, since these things can be improved, but the bad view probably can't.
