Hotel Carpeting Isn't Always Pretty

We have stayed in our fair share of hotels over the past few years and while we have taken a close look at everything inside a hotel room from pillows, to bath toiletries to TVs to views and WiFi connections, we don't seem to take much notice of the hotel's carpeting.
That is, unless it's really ugly.
Now we don't believe an ugly rug can ruin a hotel experience. In fact, we would probably prefer a room with an ugly rug if the hotel had free WiFi, rather than a luxury hotel with the finest softest rugs and pay-for ethernet access.
And while some of you will probably say we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel here as far as nitpicking goes, we standby our assertion that these hotel carpets listed after the jump are ugggglly.
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel: Egads. We bet Conrad Hilton was still alive when these carpets last looked fresh.
The Renaissance Waterfront Boston: Thinkinkless shows us that even new hotels suffer from UCS--Ugly Carpet Syndrome.
The Omni Hotel Los Angeles: Found by Flickr member EvaMen, who actually has photographed several ugly carpets found throughout the hotel.
Night Hotel: Some people like the Gothic N carpeted throughout the hotel. We're not one of them.
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's: Not only are PH's rugs ugly to look at, the raised geometric circles actually made it feel weird underneath our feet.
