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.

Oh, goodness. This is not very nice. This hotel advertises itself on its website as Regina, Saskatchewan's "premier hotel for business or leisure." We would like to contend this claim; instead, we submit that this is the world's premier hotel for people watching and sort of nothing else.

This is a shot out the window of a hotel room (yes, a hotel room) at the Travelodge in Regina, Saskatchewan, taken by Flickr user emmerogers, who notes that this view makes the hotel "not exactly couples paradise." Uh, yeah. Agreed.

Anyway, this is a budget, family-friendly hotel, but it is not really conducive to, er, makin' the family grow, if you get our drift. It's got an on-site family restaurant, this indoor pool and waterslide complex and offers free parking, and rooms run around $139.00. Should you ever find yourself in Regina with the kiddies or a deep urge to people watch, why not go for it?
