Beware the Door

I hope this is not a trend that is becoming popular, but the last hotel we stayed at had a sliding door for the bathroom door.
This is a bad idea for a couple of reasons.
The first is that it has gaps. The door has to keep a minimum distance away from the wall so that it slides smoothly, and they didn’t make it much larger than the doorway. So I heard giggling while I was changing my clothes and I heard Delta say “I can see you through the crack!”
The second is that the locking mechanism is weak. This isn’t necessarily a flaw of the style of door, but rather how this particular hotel chose to implement it. It was not mechanically robust and was already bent and dented, which was bad for a relatively new hotel.
When booking hotels from now on, if I don’t see photos of the bathroom doors I will have to ask, especially in Home2Suites.
And for those of you who are concerned that my ranting into the ether will have no effect, I already answered their survey so the hotel knows how I feel.
You shall make a screen for the doorway of the tent of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver.
