I have no idea what this thing is. It’s on the floor in the carpet, in front of a window. About an inch and a half across, no screws in the holes that look like screwholes. I saw only one of them. With quite a bit of force, the rubbery center part can be depressed.
Where were we? Somewhere in England. In a hotel, of course. I forgot to ask the front desk staff what the thing might anchor or support.
I’d venture to bet that you are the only one to have ever noticed, let alone wondered about that most peculiar item.
Well, YELM, I’ve become interested in the peculiarities and oddities of hotels, and I guess I now look for them. Considering how many nights I stay in hotels (200+ per year) I do have time to notice.
I think it can be to fix a lamp, or one of those posts with tape, as to direct the circulation of people standing in a line.
In some hotels, the floors have alternate uses, so, maybe one year they are offices and next year they are rooms and they get redecorated.
It can also be a holes for cables
Thanks Fabian. What I neglected to say is that this is inside our room, near the foot of the bed, in front of a window. Not in a public space. I agree that it seems to be a thing for attaching a … thing.
