The fellas in Los Straitjackets and I have been discussing “hipster hotels,” “boutique hotels,” whatever you want to call them.
I’m sure most of you know what I mean. There are regular motels, fancy hotels, and then there are … ones that are expensive and meant for hipsters.
I’m not that picky; generally as long as there’s a bed and a bathroom, I’m fine. But it is truly hilarious to me how a lot of these hipster hotels have things that really make no sense at all. Like bathrooms with “barn doors” on them, or no towel hooks, or windows from the shower into the bedroom. I mean, really?
The hipster hotel we stayed at last night In Minneapolis had a really curious thing next to the elevator on our floor. What do you do when you have an odd sized space, say five feet wide by fifteen feet long? Well, apparently hipsters love hammocks! What could possibly go wrong here? I’m just imagining the corporate board meeting where they thought putting a hammock up in the hallway where drunken hipsters can climb into it at three in the morning, then fall out and hit their head, sounded like a great idea.
What are your favorite fails from hipster hotel stays?
