Does ANYONE ever take a bath in a hotel ?
 

I took a shower tonight.
In a new Fancy Dan designer hotel; rainforest shower with hose attachments to cleanse every nook and cranny of the human body.
A vast array of designer cleansing lotions all with ampersands in their name.
And a granny shower cap on offer as well if I needed one.
But I still had to clamber into a stupid tub and try to maintain my balance while the water soaked the rest of the bathroom.
And I'm thinking - why do they bother ? In decades of travel and hundreds of hotel rooms I've never taken a bath.
Why not just have a walk-in shower like every adult person I know has in their bathroom ?

It is far from uncommon in our family for the tub to be used. And we definitely don't have a stand-up shower stall at home.

As for water not staying in the tub area, that's usually more an issue of some countries are less likely to have a full curtain, not an indictment of the fact that a tub is an abomination.

I have never taken a bath in a hotel. I have used a hot tub in an upgraded room for relaxation a handful of times. One limiting factor for me is that the tub needs to be pretty large or I don't fit comfortably. Not to the point that I find it relaxing, anyway. I find nothing enjoyable about sitting half-submerged in water with my knees up to my chin because I can't stretch my legs out. Bathtubs are good for washing babies.

the ladyfriend likes it
we use it on vacation to relax
when im alone or on business, id sometimes use it after an exhausting day; at home id use it after physical exertion like tough exercise

I did yesterday......in a giant tub (long, wide, and deep) in my suite. Lovely.

I've used the jetted tubs at Marriott Vacation Club locations a couple times. Not on a regular basis though.

If it is a really nice hotel, and I have had a long trip - yes. Absolutely.

yes.

I'm 6'3" and haven't fit comfortably in a standard bathtub since I was about 12, so if I get a room that has an abnormally large bathtub, I'll often use it just for the novelty.

I usually take a bath. If I am in a hurry, then I might shower instead. Otherwise, I may well read a bit of a newspaper or something while in the bathtub. Very relaxing.

In some locations I have thought about it until I turned on the tap and saw the colour of the water. Novelty baths yes for sure.

Bath?? I don't think I've taken one in 40 years.

Then you would loved the bathttub I had yesterday: over five feet long, about twice as wide as a "normal" bathtub, and deep enough for water to come up to my chin without any risk of overflow.

When I have a hotel room with a marvelous bathtub, how can I not use it?

I was at the Fairmont in Maui and the tub was big enough to swim in. I took my first bath in years and loved it!

I always use the tub when on vacation with my wife.

Solo/business travel - never.
