Room With an Anti-View: Comfort Suites Innsbrook

Where: 4051 Innslake Dr [map], Glen Allen, VA, United States, 23060

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.

In our ever-increasing collection of hotel room anti-views that just show some architects believe we don't look out windows, take a look at this view from the Comfort Suites Innsbrook. Fricks World dropped it into the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool and says it's the view from room number 209; we're guessing there are a bunch more rooms with a similar view.

In spite of the view, this Comfort Suites spot doesn't sound so bad. It's got free high-speed internet access, an indoor pool and a sundeck, and average rates are $120 a night. Once again, you're not paying for the view.
