People share their horrifying hotel fails – including brown bath water and a boarded-up balcony

Often the best part of a vacation is staying in a fancy hotel and making the most of the wonderful surroundings that you can call home for a week or so.

But sometimes the resorts don’t look quite like they did in the brochure.

Although disappointing, weird things spotted in hotels can often be amusing.

In an entertaining gallery, Bored panda gathered footage of disgruntled vacationers from around the world who weren’t happy with their less-than-luxurious digs.

From oddly placed windows to unreadable security signs, these hotels need drastic improvements.

The gallery also includes a photo showing a bath filled with brown water and a swimming pool with a creepy entrance.

A vacationer booked a room with a balcony and discovered the view was completely blocked off.

In another case, a tourist was irritated that the curtains in his hotel room did not match the length of the window frame, ruining any chance of a good night’s sleep.

Elsewhere, another tourist opened his curtains to reveal the very unglamorous view of the car park.

Safety concerns were a different concern for other vacationers after learning the window opened from the bottom out and their room was on the eighth floor.
