What’s the worst “creative” hotel view you’ve ever been sold?

I’m Steve, and I’m launching View From The Room in a few hours.

The idea came from a London trip where I paid extra for a “City View” and spent three days staring at a rusty AC unit. No city. Just vibes.

I’m curious - what’s the most creative way a hotel has ever sold you a terrible view?

Was your “Partial Ocean View” a sliver of blue between two buildings?
Did “Garden View” mean weeds and a fence?
Did “Quiet Room” face a loading dock?

Drop your worst hotel view stories below. If it was technically true but wildly misleading, I want to hear it. Best stories may get featured on the site :)

I built View From The Room to kill the hotel “view lottery” so you can see the real view before you book.
