You guys obviously don't travel in Asia very much. Outside of the fancier western orientated hotels it is pretty common to find a shower nozzle hung on the wall and the entire bathroom is tile, has a floor drain and serves as a shower. Very convenient for the maid I imagine since she can just basically hose the whole room down to clean up. Convenient for the guest since in the morning when you are still half asleep you can sit on the toilet and shower at the same time. Multitasking?

Watch out for the toe stubber® in the doorway though since the bathroom floor is usually a couple cm lower than the rest of the hotel room. I'm also sure many lives have been lost slipping on the tile out in the rest of the room.
