Admittedly I'm pretty easy to entertain. But I think I've actually found my new favorite hobby. Yes, as the title suggests it's browsing hotel websites for truly ridiculous pictures. When a good chunk of hotels' bookings are made directly on their website, it would seem worthwhile to hire a professional photographer (or "animater") that actually…

There is a picture on the Park Hyatt Chicago website that is really odd. The link is: http://www.parkchicago.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels-parkchicago/news-details.jsp?newsId=44827380
On a page talking about a room refresh, there is a picture of something I cannot even identify!
@Jorge, thanks! I had no clue what they were. Still makes the picture a little weird.
Just do a TripAdvisor search for <$25 hotels in Bangkok, you'll have plenty of nice options:
Nothing like coffee and a smile on my toast in the morning!
Pic #17 - Elephant keychain? Now I really want to stay there!

Ben..check out this one from Hotel Spectra in Istanbul....they used to have a picture of a topless woman in a Turkish bath, by accident of course

You should win the gold star for your third link. LoL, it says CCTV and Safety. Then router and security camera. The hotel must be at the a rough part of town. And that is suppose to entice guest to stay at that hotel?
@ Antonio
Your fourth picture is funny as hell too. Lighting fast key card. It's like these hotels don't even try.
The Country Inn and Suites have some pretty awful photos, but I suppose that's expected..

"Area restaurants!"
Not a picture but check out the Amenities for these rooms.
