Guess The Hotel's Fugly Carpeting

September 26, 2008 at 1:01 PM | 6 Comments

We're back with the latest installment of Guess the Hotel. This edition is going to be hard as it's focused on this seriously fugly hotel carpeting. You know how the game works. Put your answers in comments below. But first, here are some hints to help you along.

· This is actually a very swanky hotel in a very chic neighborhood.
· Canadians like it here but it's not in Canada. More like France.
· Flower-enthusiasts like it here too.
· This fugly carpeting was shot in the hotel's lobby lounge/tea room.

Do you think you know which hotel has this fugly carpeting? Put your thoughts in comments below.

We hit up Las Vegas over the weekend and shacked up at the Monte Carlo Hotel. The hotel has recovered nicely from a dangerous fire earlier this year and we shot a video of room 20-108 to show you what it's like.

However, this is in no way a modern hotel room on the strip. Judging by the room decor, we are having a hard time believing this hotel only opened 12 years ago. Also, beware of seriously fugly room carpeting.

Enjoy the video today and we'll bring a you full review tomorrow.

In continuing our running tab on hotel carpets (yes, we are that geeky here), we present you with this photo taken at the Sofitel LA by Air Christophe. And we're thinking maybe this carpet is not so fugly? What do you think? Let us know in comments below.

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.
