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.

So: you went to Seattle and you were all psyched to see the Space Needle, perhaps a famous houseboat from a certain movie or maybe even just Safeco field — but then you checked into your hotel and looked out the window to see...none of those things. Instead, you saw this. Bummer.

This may be the exact situation you could find yourself in if you happened to have ended up in a room like jabbusch's at the Moore Hotel.

Now, for the location — super close Pike Place Market, Belltown and the Space Needle, according to a collection of varied TripAdvisor guest reviews — the price can't be beat. "European-style" rooms (read: the bathroom is down the hall) start at just $59, while a room with your own toilet, sink and shower will be running you more like $74.

If you know what to expect — just plain old, no-frills, "really cool old hotel" (not exactly the Ritz) — then a view like this shouldn't be shocking. Heck, if we were paying less than $60 for a room in the heart of downtown Seattle, we should probably just be grateful that were given a window at all.
