The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in San Francisco tops out the luxury scale, but we did a double-take with the decor in this suite. Just a tad busy?

Presidential Suite, $7,500 per night!

This bed at the Buchanan Arms Hotel in Drymen, Scotland (by Loch Lomond) is so busy that it took me three views to notice there is actually a guest in this image.

And check out the old-school telephone at bedside!

This is 25 seconds well spent!

You’re with the family on vacation or visiting relatives, and you check into a hotel somewhere along the way. Lots of bodies in the room, one or two king-sized beds with only a rollaway bed or cot as the alternate choices for bedding.

Who get’s the sweet bed? In this case, clearly our little man with the blue gator shirt will be sleeping like a baby.

We love finding hotel bed images here at HotelBedHQ.com. What’s better than a hotel bed image? A bed image with a guest review attached!

The first part of our trip was spent in Waikiki (that’s the tourist area near Honolulu proper, if you haven’t been there). We stayed at the Hyatt Regency and when we checked in, they hadn’t held a king sized bed room for us, so we got shafted with two doubles.

The chick at the front desk said she’d see if she could find something else for the other two nights we’d be there, but then never did. Not impressed at all with this hotel, to be perfectly honest. The front desk staff was nice, but not exceptional and not really all that concerned with their guests’ happiness.

The restaurants were good, but you needed reservations for almost all of them, even when they weren’t full, which annoys the crap out of me. And everywhere you turned, they charged you for something different. The stupid minibar was automated for “your convenience” so that even if you just pulled something out to LOOK at it, you got charged and had to tell them that no, you’re just stupid, please remove the charge. Really. Really. REALLY. irritating.

You’re paying that much money for a 4-star resort hotel, you don’t expect them to try and nickel and dime you at every turn on top of that. Not that I have problems paying for minibar stuff — I don’t, honestly — but the guise of “automated for your convenience” is just dirty pool. Anyway, I won’t be going back there, probably.

The Lloyd used to be a kind of boy’s home for delinquents..you can kinda tell, although the hotel tries to turn that toward chic boutique style.

Originally a boarding house, youth detention centre and then artists’ studios, the Lloyd Hotel is a design hotel set in Amsterdam’s fashionable East Docklands. Built in the 1920’s, the 116 room hotel offers guestrooms that range from an extremely broad “one to five stars”. Many rooms retain original features such as glazed ceramic tiles, wooden beams, and 1920s chairs blended seamlessly into design statements with bold contemporary furnishings.

And according to one guest, you can expect an experience every bit as exquisite as you would expect from a detention centre:

The two star rooms - described as “surprising” on the lloyd website certainly live up to their name. However, this surprise was more of a shock than a delight. The room, in the basement (by no means a bargain) had no natural light, the door to the room did not close properly (as a woman staying alone this was a worry), cleaning equiptment had been left in the bathroom, no mirror, no hairdryer, tiny tiny bed and worst of all pipes which led down through my room so you could hear when anyone above had flushed the loo - the pipes were covered in cobwebs and spiders - this room cannot have been cleaned for a long time. Absolutely awful - stay in the Hotel Bellevue if you want cheap, pleasant and clean instead. I wish I had photos to share how awful this place was…[TripAdvisor]

Christian and I felt the beds were extremely hard to lie on. We decided to investigate the mattresses and realized that we have to sleep on a piece of “soft” wood attached to the springs.

We’ve all had to share a bed with a brother, sister or friend at some point in our “career” as a hotel guest. Maybe it was during a school trip, sporting event, family vacation…or a conference for work.

Regardless of the reason for your crowded hotel bed, you will appreciate the new strategy below for managing your platonic bed “partner”. Enjoy!

Here is an interesting image of Detroit musician Liz Larin - from the top of the now vacant Hotel Eddystone:

Liz Larin, Detroit’s Goddess of Rock, photographed on top of the Hotel Eddystone, during Cave Canem’s shoot. It was an AMAZING shoot, and this was the last frame of the night. Cave Canem deserves all the praise for his amazing artistic concept and allowing me to be in on the fun. Hauling this bed up 13 flights of stairs wasn’t too much fun, but luckily, we were able to hire some help.

Translation:

“Smoking on the bed is dangerous and may be fatal.
Your safety is our primary concern. Please do not smoke on the bed.”

Are they telling us you can’t smoke in bed at this Bangkok hotel, or you can’t ENJOY it?

They ran out of space in the hotel we stayed in in Uyuni, so put us girls on beds in the dining room.
