indigo_rose99My hotel room has:
* two twin beds
* a pitcher of water and two bad-smelling glasses Don't drink the tap water. In fact, don't brush your teeth with it! And try not to let any in when showering.
* A pot to heat water, and two packets of Earl Grey tea. I hate Earl Grey tea.
* A container of square lumps of sugar. Two spoons. Two cups with little covers.
* An old square small TV. My laptop monitor is almost the same size.
* Gorgeous stone floor in the entryway and bathroom
* Flip flops for use in the room. They do not appear to be washable. Nor are they new.
* "Cleanser for hair and scalp". No conditioner.
* Body lotion, bubble bath, and body talc. I'm a bit confused by the talc.
* 2 soaps. A packaged toothbrush and some toothpaste. The soap claims "almond oil" and smells like mildly unpleasant chemicals.
* Two towels. Yay! A change from Taiwan, where there was only one towel. One time they took it and did not give me another.
* A tiny closet with five hangers. Five. Do I need to list the things I want to hang up or can you just go with "Many many more than five?"
* 1 tiny drawer in the desk. No other drawers. The "dresser" is a cabinet for the stocked-for-a-fee frig.
* The tiny drawer contains a box of matches and two utterly not decorative candles. For blackouts? *worried look*
* A lovely tub with shower. I may use the bubble bath, though I miss my used-up epsum salts.
* Wireless internet. For a fee. A rather LARGE fee. As you can see, I paid for a 24 hour slot.
* All lights in the room are controlled by a box next to the bed. I am including a picture of it. It also controls the room temperature (4 buttons), a request to make up the room, laundry request, and the Do Not Disturb notice.
Now imagine it is pitch dark, and you are trying to turn on a light. Remember that the whole front is utterly flat. Nothing to feel for.
*sigh*
Sleep, food, a working plug converter, and a nice walk have allowed me a more amused-than-annoyed attitude toward my hotel room. I can live with this.
