Awesome hotel room

Took all day to fly from Seattle to NYC on Thursday.  Took a taxi from JFK to Manhattan (upper west side) to my hotel.  I checked in around midnight.

Awesome hotel room:

Observations:  Small but that's fine.  Eww.  There's a huge stain on the only chair, disgusting beyond all belief.  Words cannot describe.  Kind of like someone gave birth sitting there, and no one cleaned up afterward.  But worse.  They should just burn it.

Time for a shower, but both knobs bring in hot water.  Hmmm.  Two hot water knobs, no cold.  It's scalding hot, so I try to stand as far away as possible from the spray.  Wait for it, in the middle of showering when soap is in my face, it suddenly turns ice cold.  Went back to one knob at a time, no difference between the two.  Eventually both knobs each only put out scalding hot water again, no cold available.  Like I’m in a bad movie.

First towel smells strongly like bad cologne, other two towels are okay.

Annoyingly, the bathroom door keeps swinging open in the way, so I shut it, thereby locking myself in the bathroom.  I found out the latch is misaligned and I couldn’t get out of the bathroom until I could jimmy the lock with a piece of card stock sign I pulled down off the wall.

Bathroom fan does not work.

Toilet continually running due to flapper leak.

Bed frame broken in the middle, bed sags.

No cell phone signal from in the building, had to go outside to get signal.

Wifi broken.  No one working here knows anything about it.

Update on wifi, Leo at the front desk said he would reset the wifi router.  Now router requires a password, which no one here knows.  Nice job Leo!

Tomorrow I will attempt to get a different room.
