Lol, here is one for a hotel in a small Puerto Rican town I stayed in......
"The road trip was exasperated by traveling in the dark. What few road signs there are, they were in Spanish, so we had a more difficult time way finding."
Can you imagine? Road signs in Spanish? From the posters words and phrasing, I am surprised they do not speak Spanish, as their english is so bad it must be their second language, even though they are from Minnesota.

The same guy later visited White Plains, and he found that it was too vanilla for his taste.

Seems like the easy solution would just be to rename the "hills" as "mountains" and perhaps they would be just right for his liking.

I've written a handful of comically obtuse reviews like that for popular attractions that already have hundreds of positive reviews repeating the same few points.

Here's an odd one. I reviewed a Hampton Inn on TA and I mentioned they had cookies in the lobby. This is the response my review got from TA:
Thank you for taking the time out to review your recent stay with us. We appreciate your loyalty to the brand and thank you for choosing us during your visit to the city. Aren't those cookies amazing!! It's rather dangerous working next to that batch everyday 
Please come back soon, we loved having you here!

A few of my favorites TA reviews of the Hojo in Middletown, NY
"Clean Room, but Section 8 Hotel: The rooms were clean but it was a section 8 hotel. We stayed one night and in the morning the manager in the Perkins next door, told us that someone got shot in the hotel that night. When the car service picked us up he asked us if we heard about the shooting. It was very disturbing news. I do not recommend this hotel. "
"I need a Tetanus Shot: This place is aweful. I cannot believe that the health department keeps it open. A homeless shelter would have been better. My first night had the room flood from outside rains and a leaking air conditioner. Tub leaked and toilet did not flush. Walls were thin and my family heard everyone around us. We requested new room. we were told to check the bed linens as "The housekeepers are lazy and don'y always claen well." The second room air conditioner worked partially. I felt like I was going thru manopause. One minute cold and the next sweating. The place was like a low income slum, which was not what I have come to expect from HoJo. I felt like it should be called HoBo."
"Thought I was going to die that night: There were some really shady people there and it looked as if they were living there. Only later on did I find out that it was a welfare hotel and that these people were drug addicts and ex-felons (quite possibly current felons). There was some kind of fight going on in one of the rooms near me and I felt scared for my life. It was one of the worst experiences I've ever had."

I can't remember what hotel it was to be honest, but there was a guest that claimed that someone was videotaping them behind the mirror, when it was just one of those fancy hotels with the television in the mirror. If I recall correctly, they even had a picture posted, and you could clearly see the remote. Guess they didn't add two and two together? What did they think the remote was for? Turning on the shower? If they were so concerned about using the bathroom, wouldn't they have called security to report it?

although the head chef will not be winning any modelling contests he certainly makes up for his uglyness by being a genius in the kitchen

This is why there are so many obvious disclaimers on a lot of products. People who are so dense they can't infer things based on the situation. Going on a river rafting trip carries a strong possibility of getting wet. Who knew?

It is now closed, probably forcibly shut down by the health and sanitation department.
I stayed there when I was much younger, and trust me, all the 1 star comments are absolutely true. Dead pigeons, mice, vomit (to which I contributed a little I have to admit) and everything else, all gloriously displayed for benefit of the unsuspecting tourist.
My favourite absolute worst hotel (if you call it that) of all time
