Hire the most incompetent, ignorant, lackluster uncaring idiots, for the cheapest amount possible, to design the lighting in the hotel room".

Doesn't matter if it's a Motel 6 or a high-end spa/resort, it seems like the one bond that all hotel owners share is a complete and total disdain of being able to have see in the rooms.

Put million dollar chandeliers in the lobby? Fuck yeah!

Spend $50 on an overhead light in the rooms? No fucking way!



Lobby lighting with dimmers and other variability and controls that would make an F-16 pilot roll up in a ball and cry? Absolutely!!


Put a light switch in the room in some sensible way that logically proclaims which light it might turn? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously.

I wonder if there could be good money in becoming a "hotel lighting consultant" to help these hotel builders design lighting in the room that won't drive the occupants to throw the TV out the window.
