    It’s one of those godawful side mounted fire sprinkler heads that seem to appear in every hotel room. Why in the hells they’re always mounted there rather than on the ceiling where they won’t tempt idiots to hang things from them is a mystery.

      I have never in life seen a side-mounted sprinkler, thought this pic was of a odd ceiling!

      • Nope. They’re ubiquitous in American hotels. I suspect they run the plumbing down the inside of the bathroom wall, because they are universally on the wall separating the back of the bathroom from the bedroom area, facing towards the bed(s).

          I’ll maybe notice next time. Stayed in really nice hotels and fleabags, but not often any longer. Are they high up on the wall?
