Waldo JaquithA common #HotelBathroomUX error at my Salt Lake City hotel, The Grand America: there is no place to hang the towel that is accessible from the shower. This shower door is too wide to reach around to get the towel.
(Also, as always, the shower head is too low for my 6’3” frame.)
Also, the double bathroom doors are designed perfectly to pinch your hand if you open the door holding the handle from the inside edge. That was a painful way to start my day. #HotelBathroomUX
In #HotelBathroomUX notes, this Hilton has body wash that’s labeled as “invigorating.” Only those who can read the 5 mm type on the back can learn it’s made with *peppermint oil*. What kind of sick bastard puts peppermint oil in body wash? The same that would put it in their moisturizer. 😳
Waldo JaquithThis is my top #HotelBathroomUX complaint. I’m 6’3” (191 cm) which is not, like, shockingly tall, but just *regular* tall, and as a matter of course, I have to crouch to wash my hair in hotel bathrooms. You might think that spendier hotels would be more accommodating, but they are not.

Attached: 1 image I’m in a hotel that costs many hundreds of dollars a night and this is the shower head placement.
My hotel room’s bathroom has two ways to hang up a towel: Door Hook That Can’t Hold A Towel Even For A Second, and a rack that drapes the towel in front of the soap dispensers. #HotelBathroomUX
Jeri Dansky@waldoj Here's another really bad one. I had to take a photo of the bottles and enlarge it to read that pale green lettering on a gray bottle. This was at a Residence Inn.

Also from the #HotelBathroomUX realm: last year I stayed in a hotel with this array of soaps etc. mounted in the shower. Two of them contain peppermint oil, and one is body wash.
Peppermint oil is an irritant to mucus membranes. This is Russian shower roulette.
Today in #HotelBathroomUX, this Minneapolis hotel’s soap etc. dispensers in the shower. The lighting was dim, these were mounted down low, and I had a heck of a time figuring out which was which.
As with the name tags at this conference, it would be better if the most important label was really big!
OTOH, the same hotel provided this questionable #HotelBathroomUX. I’m not sure what they’re trying to communicate here and I don’t care to think about it.
Kudos to my Austin hotel for their great #HotelBathroomUX, specifically this sliding shower head. At 6’3” (190 cm), showers usually hit me in the chest. This one was easily adjusted up to the right height.
