    I recently was allocated a windowless room in a hotel. I only booked for 1 night.
    within 5 minutes i was back at reception to upgrade to another room.
    windowless bedrooms are horrible!
    i would neither buy (unless i can create a window) or rent such, leaving regulation even aside. 
    Big No for me.

    This! For me was horrible. We were staying 3 nights and managed one in the windowless room.
    I am frankly amazed that fire regulations would allow a hotel to offer an windowless bedroom in the first place 

    as a landlord i think you'd be liable if anything happened because of poor escape route
    @Bookworm105 yep lots of them offer it. Ours was Hub by premier inn

    Pretty much all Easyhotels.

    And even hotels with windows generally have latches that prevent them being opened more than a few inches.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
