Best Anti-View: Wyndham Garden Hotel

We used to think getting a room view of scaffolding, brick walls or air shafts were the worst types of views you could get. However, men with skimpy bathing suits, like this man of leisure pictured here, take the cake.
What's worse about this, according to Hotel Maven Courtney May who sent it to us, is that the Wyndham Garden Hotel is also next to a children's hospital meaning those sick kids get to look at this too.
Funnily enough, this view seemed to be almost repeated in Croatia and then in San Francisco, one guest paraded around nude in his hotel room where workers across the way had a prime view. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, they didn't snap this Ugly Naked Guy on camera.

Room with an Anti-View: Wyndham Garden Hotel

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.

Hotel Maven CourtneyMay sent us this Anti-View of the Wyndham in Memphis taken back in 2004.
This was from the 8th floor of the Wyndham Garden Hotel, near to the children's hospital.We used a digital camera that only had an average zoom and we were still able to get these shots. Yuck.
Yuck, indeed. Those poor sick children may have been staring out the hospital window looking for hope and inspiration, only to throw up again once they caught sight of his blue half-thong swimsuit.
