If you want an innocent explanation, then it’s entirely possible that there used to be a medicine-cabinet-style mirror there. It looks like it’s about that size and would fit in that location. Those medicine cabinets are recessed into the wall and so they require a hole to be cut in the wall. When they installed the large mirror, they didn’t think it was worth it to repair the hole, since they were covering it up with a mirror.
If the hotel is fairly old, it might have had something like that in the past.
But since there is no way of knowing that for sure, if I was in that room, I’d assume there’s a camera behind there, too.
Even so, there is no reason to downvote my comment. It is possible for there to be a hole there. Voting like that just makes you an asshole. And, yes, comment votes are public information.
Alternatively, you can go fuck off instead. People who downvote and then reply to the comment as if they want to have a discussion are a fucking cancer.
I really only check when I think somebody has engaged in the extremely poor behavior of responding to my comment and also downvoting. Actually, most of my comments don’t get any downvotes.
I’m hoping that by embarrassing people who do this, they’ll be less likely to do it in the future. If most of Lemmy agreed to condemn this behavior, then it will improve the platform. But as you can see from the votes in this thread, there are A LOT of people who absolutely don’t give a shit about the quality of discussion on the platform.
There is probably a hole cut into the wall there.

Some hotels just put a hydrophilic coating on their mirrors. https://fsicti.com/markets/architectural-building/bathroom-mirror-shower-door/

This will never not be the saddest shit on this website, please go touch grass.

How can you tell who downvoted you?
Votes on Lemmy are public, mods have easy access afaik but there are sites that let anyone see who voted what on any given post or comment.
One way to tell is https://lemvotes.org/
On the one hand that’s interesting; on the other hand that could drive me nuts…
