Hi all
I have been trawling through a stack of hotels recently on the Qantas site and hotel aggregators, and thought I might share two things that made me laugh - sure you all have others... so feel free to add.

Nothing like a 4* hotel using a toilet for their feature image.

Don't know about you, but dial-up internet isn't going to make me stay there, Mantra group.

What have you found?
 
I was searching for hotels in Moscow a couple of months ago and happened upon one which noted that clothing was optional...!

Don't have a screenshot though, sorry, and can't seem to find it again :-(
 
While the following is not from a hotel website/webpage it is loosely hotel information related....

I travel regularly to China and the city I stay in is a centre for ceramics (sanitaryware) and wedding gown/evening gown manufacture - the latter (not the former) is my area of expertise. In the hotel room there are always catalogues of manufacturers of both products and I look through them while trying to while away the time in the evening. The following is an email I sent to my family on one such night:

It's the evening of Day # 5 for me in China - saturday night and I
am in my hotel room, i have had 2 x Le Snack's for dinner (brought
from home of course) and cointreau (from the mini bar) and hot water
to wash them down with.

Now I am perusing the catalogues available on the desk in my room.
Currently I am reading 'LOVFEN bathrooms' (this city is a centre
for ceramics as well as bridal and evening gowns). LOVFEN have an
interesting range of toilets, bidets and basins. The toilets
incorporate a water spray nozzle system for your 'cough' or 'woman
wash". The water can be heated but luckily for the user it has 'low
temperature burn protection". Another useful feature is "cough moving
massage". (useful for lazy husbands/recalcitrant children maybe??).
For those of you who need to make middle of the night visits to the
toilet, there is a "warm and fragrant night light illuminating the
bowl" feature too.
and VERY fortunately for those who suffer from such problems there
is 'gas leakage protection' too.

I am a bit worried that this sanitaryware might be trying to take
over the world as they 'break out tradition and seek human space".

However, "with the preference to sunshine and fragrance, it is
always bright and joyous in your heat".

That's reassuring then.

But if that is not enough then this will be the icing on the cake -
"the bright pattern is the post-modem revelation, the cool and
bright visual effect as well as the random and comfortable sentiment
popple in the whole space" and" Living in the nature world pour life
aspect into space, active modern peoples desire for water world, In
the, such as facing the ocean in the morning mist, filled the heart
with the water and rising unlimited reverie.

Sold - I want one.
 
And another poor quality control mistake from Qantas.com
What verb would you use?

Just came across another great find.
Nice to know that a standard room including breakfast doesn't actually include breakfast.
:D

I've stayed at a hotel that refused to provide breakfast at no additional charge, even though the rate was described as including breakfast.:evil:

What have you found?

I was on an Air Niugini flight earlier this year where the pre-recorded safety spiel specifically mentioned needing to turn off 'word processors' for takeoff and landing.
