Family rooms allocated with ignorance

Maybe naive but when booking a family room in a hotel with 2 twins under 2 and room for 2 travel cots you would surely expect a room with bath and not shower? You live and learn that sometimes you deal with idiots. An offer of 'renting' a baby bath added insult to injury to deal with 2 babies and fill it from a shower...Sadly a full hotel and no alternative and unapologetic over a stay cut short and no discount. So it may should silly but double check the room will have a bath when booking stays. I so want to let rip on Trip Advisor but dont want to be blacklisted to stay again minus grandchildren as a very unique resort.

In the U.K. and Europe I think baths are really unusual now. I can’t remember the last time I stayed in a hotel with a bathtub.

I’m off to Japan this spring and over there pretty much all hotel rooms have a bathtub from the most basic to the most plush. Generally there’s also a shower next to (rather than over) the tub too. It doesn’t seem to matter how tiny the room is overall, they make space for a deep soak tub.

I can only conclude that it’s a cultural difference. Europeans don’t seem bothered about bathtubs now.

Our holidays are in rented cottages in UK. As DH needs a bed without a foot board and a bath I always check the pictures/blurb and if necessary call them . MY responsibility
