We are not trying to tell you that everything is a lie and everybody is a liar, but there are so many instances where one can be scammed, and vacations or business trips are no exception.

Just like Tinder dates don’t always look like they do in their profiles pictures, it’s also not uncommon for even the nicest hotels to look considerably different than they do in the brochures. They might tell you that they have a gym, for example, but what they don’t tell you is what their definition of a gym actually is. A seemingly nice hotel might also tell you that they have a swimming pool, while conveniently forgetting to tell you that it’s full of hardened concrete. Or their interior design choices can leave you with a migraine, and OCD and PTSD upon leaving.

Take a look at this hilarious list compiled by Bored Panda for more examples of cheap hotels that didn’t quite live up to expectations. Do you have any epic fail pictures of hotel designs you’d like to share? Then feel free to add the best hotel catastrophies to the list, and don’t forget to vote for the funny fails!

    well I have to ask, did the room have a balcony, and did it overlook the pool? If it did, that's subliminal messaging at it's best!
