Tell HN: un-design of everyday thing

On a recent business trip, I was booked at the W Hotel in SF. Nice decor, but they overdid it to the point that "usability" suffers. Now I used to travel every week, so I know business hotels. Just like in s/w or web design, when a designer tries too hard to be cute or fancy, he/she ended up irritating. Here are some examples from that trip.

I could not find the light switches for the desk area for the first hour, because they were all located in an out-of-the-way side. And the switches are small.

For a hotel that recommends the guest to be green by recycling, their water lever in the bath / shower did such a poor job that when you set it to shower, half the water actually went down to the bath, instead of to the shower head. Wasted water.

The water faucets at the wash basin: one turn clockwise and the other turn counter-clockwise to open the water. Go figure.

I can mention a couple more, but the point here is not to rant - I like Starwood hotel chain. The point is to hear your experiences of "un-design" similar to mine.

And Merry Christmas, by the way!
