Worse than the East Lansing Mythcon bathrooms. Another trend to deplore, from people who apparently wish us to believe they think it's actually a good idea and not a form of psychological torture.
Architects are space aliens. (I knew that even before Daniel Pinkwater spread the word.) Hotel designers are from a much weirder universe entirely.
Otoh, as long as the toilets are still private, and there are curtains on those,window walls (mostly seems to be the case), I'm not that weirded out by a tub in a hotel room. At a con in Banff in the v. early '90s, one of the GoH's threw a party in his "suite" which featured a whirlpool - basically a tub smack in the middle of a very large room. The thing looked awfully out of place.
I do draw the line at a completely open shower, though. Makes my teeth chatter just thinking about how cold that would be.
