Why don't 2-3 star hotels have lights on the wall in rooms?

[Mahaguru]

Why is that?

Easier and cheaper to replace when some asshole destroys them all.

I think you are making a genralization. I dont know if we can absolutely say that all 2-3 star hotel rooms do not have wall or ceiling lights. I would actually say lights on the wall and ceiling would be cheaper b/c all you have to replace is the light bulb rather than a whole lamp if someone breaks it. Also someone could do more damage to a room with a lamp. So I dont know if there is an economical reason. Probably whatever the hotel room got cheaply installed.

The lamps are complementary, kinda like the towels.

I give this thread 2-3 stars.

Wall lamps are an automatic bump to the 4 star level. 2-3 star hotels are too busy building offices and condos so they can raise there popul...yea has anyone else actually played simtower? This reference maybe a little too obscure.

They do that to keep it dark so you can't see all the semen stains of the sheets and the walls. (I'm only half joking here- take a black light with you in a hotel room sometime :Q )

I've been in a lot of hotels, from low budget to luxury. I don't find your observation to be consistent with mine, except for the very low budget hotels where they don't install any wiring except to wall outlets.

You can replace an entire lamp for $20 in about 2 minutes with unskilled labor.
