Making matters worse are some hotels now have motion-activated lights in the bathroom which come on full-throttle; definitely NOT appreciated at 3am.

The barn doors also don't seem to block noise either.

I have to agree with @itravelalot -- these things are probably great in the mock rooms, but your typical road dog wouldn't ever want it.
I’d love to see the Hotel market research which says that Millenials insist on hearing each other and seeing silhouettes when using the toilet. It’s now almost every W and an increasing proportion of other hotel chains.
