Some hotel owners shouldn’t name their children, let alone their hotels. The following hotels have most unfortunate names we have come across. If the name of the hotel would say everything about the accommodations, then you should probably avoid the following 10 hotels. If you have any other hotel names the list doesn’t include, feel free to add yours.

1. Elephant Butte, Elephant Butte – If you were expecting some large booty, you won’t find it here. The name “Elephant Butte” is derived from the name of an eroded core of an ancient volcano. Still, most of us would think twice before staying in Elephant Butte. The hotel is located in the city with the same name, a city in New Mexico popular for having the biggest lake in New Mexico. At the Elephant Butte Lake you can practice all kinds of water sports or fishing, making it a year-round destination due to its mild climate.

2. Step Back Inn, Aztec – You can’t get more hospitable than that. It’s a hotel where, according to the name, you would want to come back again and again. Step Back Inn is located in historic downtown rural Aztec, Colorado and built in a Victorian style, decorated American antique replicas.

3. Kandahar the Lodge, Whitefish – Don’t expect any guns, tanks or angry rebels. Contrary to what the name suggests, Kandahar is an elegant and casual lodge atop Big Mountain. Visitors get to enjoy snowboarding, snowmobiling, world-class skiing and several outdoor activities in the summer.

4. Black Butte Ranch Resort, Black Butte – It’s not the ranch where hommies come to chill. Located near the town of Sisters in Central Oregon, the ranch is located amongst seven Cascade peaks, near abundant wildlife and offering plenty of recreational activities such as golf, cycling or swimming.

5. Arsenic and Old Lace Bed and Breakfast, Eureka Springs – Did you like the move? Then you probably would like the hotel, even if one would think twice using a poison to name their hotel.

6. French Lick Resort and Casino, French Lick, IN – Located in Orange County, Indiana, the French Lick city was originally a French trading post, hence part of the name. The other part of the name is unaccounted for, but you can also think of it as a bad choice. The town has some rejuvenating sulfur springs that made it famous throughout the country as a spa resort. Oddly enough, the city is also the place where the famous laxative Pluto Water was made or where 7up is bottled.

7. Thong Lo Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand – Thong Lo is not a sleazy Thai join, it’s merely the name of a road in the Watthana district, Bangkok, Thailand.

If you were thinking twice about staying in a hotel with such an odd name, you shouldn’t – it’s one of the city’s top accommodations.

According to the website’s hotel, at U-Thong Inn, you will surely feel the warmth of the people - way of life in Thailand.
