A tourist was left shocked after discovering her ninth-floor hotel room view was not what she had hoped for.
Flight attendant Angela Ruth Strong arrived at the hotel with her co-workers who were joking with her about how she got a room on the highest floor – saying it would be ‘the best’ and ‘the penthouse.’
But upon arrival, it was anything but that.
Angela recorded the ordeal, later sharing the video on TikTok and gathering a staggering 2.8million views.
‘This was my first overnight in the city and another flight attendant had told me that it was one of her favourites,’ Angela said.
‘So I had some pretty high expectations, especially when my room was on a higher floor than the rest of the crew.
‘But when I opened the door and saw the gorgeous ‘view’ printed on the shade, pulling it up to see a blank wall was both ridiculous and fitting’.
‘I think I was more entertained than anything, and I had to share.’
In the clip shared online, Angela can be seen walking towards the ‘window’ with the supposedly amazing view. She then realises it is a print of the city, on a blind.

Once the blind was lifted, her true view was revealed – a blank wall
The flight attendant rolls up the blind to find a plain white wall behind.
The post has since gained 133,000 likes and hundreds of comments.
One TikTok user said: ‘Smart to install those blinds lol.’
Another joked: ‘You have to pay extra for the view.’
A third added: ‘At least you can get some sunlight.’
One more said: ‘I thought it was foggy at first.’
But she says she has had some great views in the past and just made a light joke of the situation.
Angela, from Idaho, US, added: ‘As a flight attendant I paid nothing.
‘Hotel employees have told me that they try to give us good views when they can, which I truly appreciate.
‘In the past I’ve been upgraded to suites and enjoyed balconies and fireplaces.
‘We get kind of spoiled that way.
‘I didn’t talk to the hotel, but I asked the rest of the crew if they had the same view I did.
‘I think they got parking lot views, which made my view feel special.’
