mothball smell unstable shower temperature
the staff was friendly enough, i'll give them that.
The room reeked of mothballs. it reminded me of my grandma's attic. i asked for a different room, but they said they were fully booked (i suspect they were just understaffed, of course). the shower temperature fluctuated wildly. I was either freezing or scalding (no in-between, naturally).
