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.

We expect more from a pretty city like Montreal. So getting this anti-view of train lines, highways and car parks out of the Delta Centre Ville Hotel is not quite good enough.

Not every room in this hotel has an anti-view though--last year we got a tip that the hotel's Tour de Ville revolving restaurant is a great spot. The other side of the hotel obviously has the better views over the river and beyond so perhaps that's what makes the hotel's restaurant work.

    Delta Centre Ville Hotel in Montreal

    You've got to be kidding me!  That is anything but an "anti-view".  I certainly agree that air shafts, frosted windows, and brick walls are anti-views.  This photo, however, has a panoramic view of the city.  For those of us that actually live in cities, this is the norm.  

    Here's a little architecture 101 for you:  When you build a conventional building near a riverbank, at least one side is not going to have a view of the river.  

    To me, this post just appears to be an attempt to discredit the hotel.  That's petty.
