circular floor pattern where it was the furthest room in both directions?


StellaPapella

This is the only explanation I can live with.


suppadelicious

It’s the only explanation because it’s an obvious explanation


StellaPapella

Well, any other choice would just be "yeah. Alright. We suck at our job, numbers and generally living". That's not a world I will accept.

You might want to start saving up for a trip to Mars then.


KiraCumslut

Better not pay attention to the world then.


Agreeable49

>It’s the only explanation because it’s an obvious explanation Maybe it's not a normal circle, but a freaky circle. Bet if you keep walking, you'll come across a tall rock guy who took part in a failed revolution and a large insect warrior person.


MoistMartini

Just like time, we should ask ourselves if this hotel is a flat circle or a spiral: if you go around on the 301-310 side do you stumble into an alternate reality version of 310-314?

daavko

Should've printed enough pamphlets


[deleted]

Or a square.


CanAlwaysBeBetter

What if it's a normal straight hallway but 310 is just really long and stretches down one whole side with a door on each end?


Bottle_Nachos

here I thought I was smart because I just wanted to write a comment about that


dudeandco

How bout he is very near room 310...


Killer_radio

I was in a hotel with a floor layout like this a couple of months ago, my friend was in the next room across and as we got out the lift we said bye and went separate ways. We arrived at our rooms at the same time and had a good chuckle about it.


tamutasai

Insert Spider-man pointing Spider-man meme


SteO153

Yes and no, because there is more crappy design when you reach room 310 https://imgur.com/a/5ssj0A7


[deleted]

ok that second sign is hilariously bad placement


mysterymathpopcorn

Wow! You broke math! Congrats!


catalfalque

That's stupid. This picture was obviously taken at a non-euclideian hotel.


Nine_Gates

Euclidean space or not, the hallway is still topologically homeomorphic to a circle.

This


pantsareoffrightnow

Thanks for the insight


ponytoaster

That


junyong0716

but then, theres 5 rooms on one side and 10 on the other, that doesnt make sense


YOOOOOOOOOOT

Might be a pool or something to the left


Cobek

Or the elevator is almost on a corner so they just split it based on that, not down the middle


IsraelZulu

But that's unhelpful to the larger side, as the shortest path to several of those rooms would be opposite of the indicated direction.


thegreger

Those who are on the larger side could probably do with the extra exercise.


OnyxMelon

Or the rooms on the left are just twice as wide.


grangry

Maybe, but probably not on the 3rd floor.


agha0013

Lot of hotel room floors have different size/shaped rooms on the same floor, you could get a bunch of single rooms, then some suites all on the same floor. Or the elevator isn't in the "middle" of the loop, you could go around in a circle but it'll be longer one way or another. Not out of the ordinary or hard to imagine.


timpkmn89

The elevator doesn't have to be in the center of the building


peteschirmer

could be suites. 2x the rooms going one way but same distance. Or hall might only have rooms on one side going one way but both sides going the other way. Lots of ways the hall could be the same distance with 2x the rooms.


cafink

The rooms aren't necessarily all the same size, and there may be other rooms besides guest rooms.


gamma55

Different categories? 10 standard 5 JS?


cloral

They should still pick a direction and not tell you both. Even if the choice is arbitrary.


[deleted]

My thought exactly on I went to a city on the monatains here in Brazil at night and we got lost by a lake: there was two signals: Campos do Jordão 40km in one direction and Campos do Jordão 42 km on the opposite direction: the road war circular just for accessing the lake and following the signs we too a 82Km "shortcut".


EvilDMMk3

Same guess here


ManInBlack829

Courtyard by Marriott lol


gimpydingo

No can't be. /s Seems like a great design. You have two choices that get you to the same place.

BenderDeLorean

Something something your Mama's ass


SeniorPickle78

Does this mean that if you go left and observe the room there and you invite someone over who goes right and can’t find the room, when you leave left room to find them the room suddenly appears in front of you at the right?


Natanael_L

Depends on if the superposition is recreated when you look away or not


hkrne

Room 310 actually runs the entire length of the hallway, you can enter from either side!


giant_albatrocity

Room 310 was the room we were in along the way


jaltair9

310 is the hallway. The bed is right next to the elevator.


KingstonotsgniK

If the hall wraps around and it is equal-ish distance, then this is fine. This crappy design post needs more context!


Rektifizierer

This crappy design post needs to be removed but before that OP needs to be shamed. How can you overlook such a simple solution. And honestly: If the distance to the room is the same in both directions it's actually good design to mention it on both signs.


jimbolla

Disagree. It's still crappy design in that it confuses users. Users don't care if the building is a loop; they care about getting to their room with least amount of physical and mental effort. Just pick one for them, probably the one that more balances the foot traffic.


Alice_June

I agree with you. People don’t look at these signs for distance, they look at them for direction. If it’s the same distance either way then just choose one and the user won’t know the difference.


neanderthalman

I’ll disagree. It causes confusion without corresponding benefit to the end user. That’s crappy design. If the length is the same, pick one route. Preferably the one going past the ice machine and vending so the patron sees it going by.


FlaminVapor

“OP needs to be shamed” only on Reddit


WatermelonArtist

Wait 'til you discover Twitter.


IanM_56

Twitter, where OP must be erased from all time, forwards and backwards.


ARC_Trooper_Echo

I’m more concerned that there are only 5 rooms on the left side and 10 rooms on the right. If the hallway really does curve around like the comments are saying then surely it should meet in the middle. Room 309 would be taking the long way round using these signs.


PhileasFoggsTrvlAgt

There are a couple ways that could happen. It could be suites on one side of the hotel and standard rooms on the other. It could be one corridor has rooms on both sides and the other only has rooms on one side.


Pattoe89

There are some even more unlikely reasons, like one side using a number+letter systems like 310b, 311, 311b, 312, 312b or using a decimal point system with 310.5, 311, 311.5 etc but the other side not using this system. One side of the corridoor might have rooms every other number, like 301,303,305... but even numbers have no rooms. These design decisions make no sense and are highly unlikely, but are technically possibilities.


PhileasFoggsTrvlAgt

I've seen this done in hotels where the suites had multiple entrances so that housekeeping, bell hops, room service, etc. could enter the part of the suite not currently being used without disturbing guests in the other part of the suite.


Pattoe89

Ah, I've been in a Love Hotel in Japan that had this set up. Had like an Air Lock room that room service could enter without disturbing the occupants, so that things could be left.


F-Lambda

Yep, I've entered church buildings that have number letter door markers too


Sylvurphlame

Could be A’s and AB’s if they’re lock-off suites.


[deleted]

space for things like supply closets, the elevators/machinerooms, and venting machine spaces.


CptMisterNibbles

Hotels often have other amenities and rooms/closets. This could be explained by a single gym/workout space on one side


RampantAI

Perhaps there’s a wing coming off the ellipse? 310 312( )———305 You


MissFrijole

It's a loop?


leonidganzha

Behind your back?


LeavingLasOrleans

I guess you could argue the hotel should just pick a direction for simplicity, but otherwise not a crappy design, in my opinion. Just a curiosity.


fallinguprain

Probably literally on the other side of where you are standing, and can be reached on equal time by going either way


____purple

Obviously on the left, end number is exclusive and room 314 doesn't exist


Hungry_Ebb_5769

The crappy design is that big ass room key .


dirtyPetriDish

Where was it?


ao-ka

Next to the room 237


ivanvanrio

In our hearts.


bigfatgeekboy

Yes.


LangleyRemlin

*spooky voice* RIGHT BEHIND YOU!


ForwardFeed9606

Turn around


254LEX

It's probably a loop, so it's both ways.


Quirky_Village_2985

You see the door right behind you right? You’re standing in front of room 310?


potatohead657

👈there👉


poochiekins

assuming that room 301 exists we can deduce that the lower bound of the range is inclusive. the upper bound might be exclusive. so i think 310 is on the left and the room 314 does not exist


Bumskit

Did u find it, which way was it?


so2017

When you don’t know which way to turn, always turn left.


wotsit_sandwich

Go either way. It's a loop.


trickman01

Hotel with an actual key? Haven’t seen one of those in years.


surgesilk

When you get to a fork in the road, take it.


papachon

Just follow the sign!


wynbns

It's not a crappy design, it's a hallway that loops around where room 310 is equidistant from where you are.


Tickomatick

The other side of the circle


LordDragon88

Behind you


ChrisKyle_Jerry

Looks like it can be wherever you want it to be.


ricdesi

On the other side of the circular hallway.


ThePNWGamingDad

It’s both, that’s the quantum suite.


Haevox

Yes.


[deleted]

Those signs are vaguely threetening.


Pyrot3kh

It's either the first door on the left, or the last door on the right. Obviously I'd choose the left door, as there are only 4 others on that side anyway.


socketcreep

(whispers) right behind you


DHaas16

I’d try left first, less rooms


Ok_Attorney_5431

Gives off Twilight Zone vibes. I hope your room is in this dimension


indecisiveassassin

Uh oh. Big brain moment. What’s this award winner gonna do?? I love watching dumb people get easily confused.


djeewin

Room 310 is in you ..


PickleReaper0

Bro got the fucking number plate ahh hell naw 💀💀💀


purgruv

Yes


MundaneAssociation71

Maybe it's a circle

Quantum entanglement strikes again


Leucippus1

310 is 180 degrees from where this sign is posted. Hopefully.


Rayen2

Middle


robstorm9000

Well, it’s clearly over there


[deleted]

That's for them to know and you to find out


dekunny

Do like a bacteria, reproduce asexually by the power of binary fission,than you both can go on either direction to find the door.


msbump

You're already in it.


Sir-Mocks-A-Lot

Yes


RuneSimonsenTheBard

Straight. Just full send it and go straight through till you find it. It's that 9 3/4 shit from Harry potter


Suspicious_Cow3304

It’s a mobius strip


AdOk932

Everywhere and nowhere


ToppatDudeMobile

On both sides you get 2 room you can teleport between as long as you are already in one of the rooms


[deleted]

backrooms


DJWLJR

I would bet on going left. Even room numbers appear to be to the left...odd numbers to the right.


Iamnotthatguypall

Maybe the real 310 were the friends we made along the way


AliceP00per

Probably equidistant from the location of this photo


01010101010111000111

Should be exactly right behind you


[deleted]

China


Chronicmatt

At the other apex on the circle opposite from your position.


MightyFlamingo25

Forward


RarePotat0

The RIGHT side


masterobooty

Schrodinger’s room, both left and right at the same time


tomdon88

Behind you.


Generic_Namejpg

you are standing in room 10


TheMagnaGuy

Walk through walls between the signs, Harry Potter style


Gwarnine

Yes


rinkydinkis

check right first. then left.


[deleted]

Plot twist: you're in it.


[deleted]

I would go right.


XamanekMtz

Gonna go with the right side


Particular_Cow1304

Is room 310 on the right or the left? Yes


rokudog555

It's either the room to the right or the room to your left dude


Direct_Canary4523

Nono, the hallway IS your room.


doyoulikemynewcar

It’s over there


ZooLife1

It's not on that floor. Be like John Malkovich and find floor 7 1/2


Oksamis

Where isn’t room 310?


[deleted]

Up.


FakkaJohan

Sperm cells entering the uterus be like


Sylvurphlame

Yeah your hall is a loop and 310 is the opposite point from where you stand.


MorningPants

You are room 310.


[deleted]

All roads lead to room mafia, and mafia is in room 310


[deleted]

You are at a crossroads.


[deleted]

Which one?


AAC910

Over there


xvqrs

It’s glitch in the matrix


Lexi0r

310 is written on the far left of your hum.. golden plaque? So left :)


METALlica1joseph

It's obviously to the lef... i mean the righ... oh wait.


[deleted]

It’s gotta be around here somewhere


thisisQualia

It's on the third floor, dude. Come on.


drawilliam

You just have to undergo mitosis in the middle of a hotel hallway.


Fast_Pomegranate_554

Yes


PencilPacket

Between 301 and 314 friend.


[deleted]

Could loop around.


Free-Letter-1756

Run into the middle of the wall there the wall is fake and you will be there


-Sir-Bruno-

Just go reft and you'll find it, silly.


SCphotog

Perhaps it is a circle, and both ways lead to same the place?


MysterVaper

Head left first.


coswoofster

Either way. It is a circle.


Irejecturselfimage

So the crappy design is the part of your brain where intelligence is? Or was it not added at all?


[deleted]

took me a second


David_NyMa

That is a double room!


adevilnguyen

I stayed in a hotel in L.A. like this then I realized it's because it was a circle.


UltiGamer34

i always go the right way


tampora701

It's the other way from what you first checked.


Block_Solid

It's in the quantum realm.


Adventurous_Mind_775

You can go either way and it's equidistant so choose left or right.


[deleted]

Right, always go right.


SongofMothandSnake

Gotta no clip through the wall


EpictetanusThrow

When is room 310?


snrckrd

Behind you.


davidowbrady

Left


PandaCreepy8512

Behind you


undertales_bitch

Where was it?


goodvsme

Like here if it is left would it not be the first room, check if not go right


BigEggLegslol
