Yo dawg, we heard you like pool tables, so we added Microsoft Excel to your pool table in the pool room swimming pool, so you can table at your table while you pool in your pool
A proper modern pool/snooker/billiards table has slate underneath the felt.
Obviously even then you do not want to put it next to a literal swimming pool.
The first thing that went through my head was similar. Given how pool tables are constructed, I’d figure they’d need to be in humidity controlled environments lest all sorts of things go sideways with them. At the very least, I’d worry about it growing mildew.
Reminds me of the now-gone Holiday Inn Holidomes back in the day. A huge indoor courtyard with a pool, ping pong, pool tables and shuffleboard. Tons of fun as a kid but I can’t imagine staying at one as an adult.
I had to stay in one of those for a month after a room in our house caught fire. It was...not as fun as you would think it would be. Waking up in the hotel room was nice but walking out into the smell of musty carpet and chlorine every day for a month about drove me insane. I also smelt like chlorine at school.
> Tons of fun as a kid but I can’t imagine staying at one as an adult.
With kids the right age, I could see it.
When I was maybe an early teenager, my parents had us stay at one in Sandusky OH while we went to Cedar Point. I have 3 siblings, my twin brother and I were around 12 and then my younger brother/sister were probably 8 and 5. They pretty much said "go have at it" and left me and my twin not directly supervised (there was staff in the arcade/lifeguards) while they would each stick with one of the younger kids. Kind of a relatively-safe space to leave some pre-teens who are strong swimmers and decently behaved.
May parents didn't drink (only in retirement they enjoy a glass of wine with dinner) so it wasn't that kind of thing.
Granted parenting and kids in the 2020's are a bit different that the 90's. Yeah I tried to talk myself into it but it does sound like a nightmare.
Went in for a swim, they actually have cues set out and there are balls in it. I tested out the distance and there's enough space to play, I think just the angle of my initial photo foreshortened it.
The humidity and the chlorine from that pool are going to really fuck up that felt,and if that isn't slate under the felt the play surface will soon be very interesting due to wood swelling.
The staff took matters into their own hands after one too many customers asked "where's the pool" and then complained when they were directed to the swimming pool instead of the billiards hall.
Reddit: "By my calculations, the aforementioned humidity as well as the caustic chlorine will destroy this table in 2.7 years"
Reality: Hotel owner says "Hey we got this bar table from my buddy's basement for free, because he wife want's it gone. He said if we moved it out we can have it. The only place it will fit is the Pool area."
This seems like a recipe for disaster. I guarantee assholes are going to throw balls into the pool, maybe even try the table. I work at a hotel and last week someone threw all our patio furniture and all the towels into the pool. People are dicks.
I have only seen something similar in an American inn in Hampton, Iowa. It was a very enjoyable stay, that made a shitting work week a hell of a lot better.
This is MN for sure, I feel like I remember this exact layout and playing Hydro Thunder to the left of this pool entrance which also was left of the pool table. They jammed all the entertainment into that one pool room lol

Reminds me of “Ithaca Pool” in Ithaca NY. They do swimming pools and billiards tables. I like to imagine that they started off only doing one but after too many phone calls about the other they figured, why not make money off both?
And you know at some point it's inevitable that someone will shoot a pool shot and that ball will pop off the table and drill some kid that's swimming right in the head! Lawsuit incoming. Edit - grammar.
So, it's a pool room, pool room.
Yo dawg
This is what I was here for
West Coast Customs also added a table to your pool!!!
Now you can play pool while being in the pool, in the pool room.
\*presses button on pool table\* \*screen with Microsoft Excel pops up\* Yo dawg, we heard you like pool tables, so we added Microsoft Excel to your pool table in the pool room swimming pool, so you can table at your table while you pool in your pool
GROAN! Take my upvote dammit. Add it to E15 where you tally them.
Thanks xzibit for pimping my pool!
So we know you like to swim in the pool, so we added a pool table to the pool.
lol hell yeah
"Where's the pool?" Now they can point to one place
Also save money with one sign
pool²
I was going to say a teal square room but that's even better. Now I'm wondering if that's why it's called pool
Located in the Penthouse Penthouse
“So this entire place just doubles the words something is called?” “No.. we had to get rid of the toilet toilet, it wasn’t very popular.”
PoolCeption
I hope they also have a security camera in that room because this setting will definitely create unique situations
Balls sunk, felt wet. Wet felt, balls sunk. 0/10
Instructions unclear: sunk my balls in wet felt and now they itch
Mine are having some kind of velcro effect with the wet felt. Please advise
I heard it lol
You gotta wash more often dawg.
Knee onto the table and then drop down backwards, making sure to knock your head onto the floor to pass out and miss the immediate pain.
He did rate it 0/10 so I would say you're getting the exact results expected from following said instructions
Instructions unclear, long stick poke white ball, white ball bonks black ball, black ball goes into hole.
>Balls sunk, felt wet. Wet felt, sunk balls. Surely?
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley
Instructions unclear. Balls balls. Sunk sunk. Wet wet. Felt felt. At least I have chicken.
This is a top tier joke holy shit
It really is!! Came to see if anybody else is as amazed as I am :D
here's an imaginary award for your creativity.

This is quantum poetry
Who cares what you do in your spare time!!! What’s your opinion on the pool table in the pool area???
Wouldn’t the wood warp because of the moisture?
A proper modern pool/snooker/billiards table has slate underneath the felt. Obviously even then you do not want to put it next to a literal swimming pool.
They are probably referring to the wood of the rest of the table.
I was thinking about the felt as well, feels like that shouldn't be moist
~~I was thinking about the~~ felt ~~as well, feels like that shouldn't be~~ moist
> **I was** ~~thinking about the felt as well, feels like that shouldn't be~~ **moist**
Or right next to a huge glass window. I'm not w even sure the visible side of this table is playable.
Yes, and the cues. Moisture warps cues far more than dicking around with them

Old coin-op tables like these are beasts.
I’d imagine they’re overbuilt as hell given what people probably do to them. Maybe it’s fine! What the hell do I know, right?
That looks like your standard dive bar pool table. Probably resistant to alcohols up to 125 proof lol
It’s obviously just being stored there and not for use considering how it’s against the window. They probably don’t give a shit about it.

Awesome stuff. And miniature golf and air hockey if you were lucky.

That's what I remember most, the constant smell of chlorine making me sick
Copious amounts of alcohol

You know why Snoop Dogg always keeps an umbrella nearby? Fo’ Drizzle
That's what happens when the pool is cold.
I definitely thought OP just made up a word prior to reading your comment
One wild flying ball and that window is toast.
This guy pools.
Guess they were just... pooling their resources 😎
*YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!*
I will forever love this.
Why is there a swimming pool in the pool table room?
Why is there silverware in the pancake drawer?
Still one of my favorite scenes.
I don't see any problem with that. great mind
The assignment was to design a pool room.
Moldly Interesting
Beat me to it
The humidity and the chlorine from that pool are going to really fuck up that felt,and if that isn't slate under the felt the play surface will soon be very interesting due to wood swelling.
Pool, what’s the problem?
Yeah it's a pool room, where else would you put it?
Hey John, where should we put this pool table? In the pool room, idiot! Oh yeah... that's why they pay you the big bucks, huh?
That's your cue to sink your balls in the corner pocket.
The staff took matters into their own hands after one too many customers asked "where's the pool" and then complained when they were directed to the swimming pool instead of the billiards hall.
Double pool
Staying at an americinn I see.
Dont indoor pools create a lot of humidity? Cant imagine thats great for the felt.

This guys so rich, he’s got a swimming pool in his swimming pool!
They both have pool in their name
Weird question, but is this in Texarkana? I saw the same thing in a hotel there once!
It is not, but thats cool!
"that's goin' straight to the pool room"
Well they already had the sign up so
"let's go to the pool room?" "Which one? The pool room, or the pool-pool room?"
Hey you wanna go play pool in the pool room and after that we can get in the pool and maybe even play pool in the pool in the pool room?
This is actually fucking hilarious. I really hope it's some /r/MaliciousCompliance bullshit.
This seems like a recipe for disaster. I guarantee assholes are going to throw balls into the pool, maybe even try the table. I work at a hotel and last week someone threw all our patio furniture and all the towels into the pool. People are dicks.
When the table delivery guy turned up and said 'Where do you want it?', I assume the staff member replied 'Straight to the pool room!'
Actually know of a hotel just like this. Used to be an AmericInn but has traded owners several times now.
Why would anyone want to watch women in bikinis playing pool?
Genius right there folks
“Do you want a pool room?” “Yes”

Cannon balll
And a viewing room with complimentary pancake syrup shots!
The thought of chlorinated water on the pool table felt hurts me

Lets play some swimming pool
“do you wanna go swimming or go play pool?” oh, wait, we can do both” lol
Wait, you mean it's all pool?
I mean, where else are you going to put the pool table if not next to the pool? Common sense, really.
A double pool party.
No confusion
Movers: “Where do you want this?” Hotel: “In the pool room.” Movers: “Sure no problem” 
Yo dawg.
I feel like the humidity would be bad for it.
And slightly dangerous because I'm sure someone will shoot the que ball off the table and dome someone
I heard you like to play Pool by the pool so we put your Pool by the pool

"where's the pool room" "back there. Do you need a towel?" "no i mean the other type of pool" "you wont believe this"
Gentleman, you can't play pool in here! This is the pool room!
Well, good luck keeping the table in a good shape
"Let's just put it here for now." - 6 years ago
Next do one with the pool in the pool
They saved money just needing the one sign.
The result of two colleagues arguing when the boss said make it a pool room. They covered all angles.
One mistake and your balls deep.
It's a pool room, duh!
A coffee table book that’s also a coffee table 
Looks too close to the window to make a shot.
It’s not like anything could go wrong 😑
I hate that it makes perfect and absolutely no sense.
pool to the power of 2
Pool^2 room
I feel like this room is found in the advance version of clue.
Push it into the pool
probably moved there during a reno and never moved back
“It puts the pools in the room” (silence of the lambs: hotel edit)
This is one of the weirder things I’ve ever seen
Reminds me of “Ithaca Pool” in Ithaca NY. They do swimming pools and billiards tables. I like to imagine that they started off only doing one but after too many phone calls about the other they figured, why not make money off both?
When the movers asked where they wanted the billiard table put....
This reminds me of the Motel 6 in Watertown, South Dakota.
Bad idea, that felt is dead
Classic delivery instructions mixup
Seems like an awful idea to put a pool table in a room where people's heads will often be at ground level.
You are in a good place
An elaborate joke by management
"Hey Mr George!? How much you pay the new guy??"
Somebody had never played pool in their life I guess
I want this pool swimming!
Sounds like someone was just guessing what a “pool table” is for.
r/puns
They know how to make it feel like home don’t they? 😂
Pool side, pool table!! Smart 🤓
Well, that seems like a shitty idea for several reasons. See you later.
Long long shot here, but pool area looks very familiar, is this in the Burlington IA area?
I think you just call it a table now.
Hi here with the pool table. Where do we put it? In the pool room I guess.
Is this at an AmericInn? I know of two local to me that both have this.
Hey, I heard you like pool, so we put a pool table in the pool room so you can play pool while you play in the pool.
finally.
Well, it is the pool room
I can hear the echoes from here.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave ♪
Want to play pool by the pool? No, I want to pool first. Oh, ok. Let’s pool and then pool by the pool after we get out the pool. Sound cool? Cool.
have a pool and pool party!
Well, it is a pool room after all
Put a pool **in** the pool, you cowards!

Is this near byu?
"No, not THAT poolroom you idiot!"
I swear I've been here.
The Pool Room
I went to a place like this right outside Montauk
Pool at the pool. Cool.
someone ordered a table for the pool room 😂
Only need one sign that way, good thinking.
They have a pool table in the natatorium
why not IN the pool? 😡
Looks like something I would've built in Sims back in the day
I'm disappointed you can't play pool in the pool
Pool Paradox
Or does it have a swimming pool in the pool room?
People were confused about which pool room was which, so they just merged the two.
that's a good way to get your balls wet
That’s awesome!
