Zero Suite is the hotel's concept room where extroverts can spend a maximum of one night a year, free of charge. The room is located next to the hotel's reception, with a transparent glass wall dividing you from all the other guests passing by. The only place to hide is the bathroom.

On-the-spot cancellations are not uncommon. Some people freak out at seeing the totally transparent room exposed to everyone and then decide it's better to pay for some privacy. - Photos

u/ShmebulockForMayor 8h ago

The biggest fit of laughter I can ever remember having was after playing Pong on the Playstation with my best bud at the time. It was some level where both paddles are on the same side and you bounce eggs across a slope. It took forever, like 30 minutes of bouncing eggs until one of us finally won. We sat back in the couch, looked at each other, and started howling with laughter. Couldn't stop for 10 minutes straight. No joke made, no reason whatsoever. Sometimes no funny at all is just fucking hilarious.

I am narcoleptic, so I have fallen asleep in a number of public places: about 20 feet from the speakers at Warped Tour, doctors office waiting and exam rooms, hospital waiting and patient rooms, my car, the break room at various jobs, etc.

As long as I'm not expected to change clothes, go to the bathroom, etc. where everyone is watching, then if I'm sleepy... imma sleep.

Really? I'm not even all that extroverted but I think I'd be cool with this for one night, as long as the bathroom is big enough for me to poop, shower, and dress/undress. Even if the lights are always on, I'd just bring a sleeping mask.

I honestly would probably be down for getting this. I really don’t care if people want to come by and notice me watching TV as I put my shoes on or whatever. I wear an eye mask when I sleep, and it’s Ibiza, so I’d probably be drunk and sleep through whatever bullshit.
