This is a really bad hotel

I remember the first time I saw the "Badhotel" in the beach town of Scheveningen in The Netherlands. I was 9 at the time, and I couldn't understand why someone would be so brutally honest about their hotel.As it turns out, The Netherlands is home to several "bad hotels", and the name actually means "beach hotel". 28/05/09
