low water pressure bad design

the staff was friendly enough, i guess.

the room was a total letdown. the shower had the water pressure of a sad, dribbling faucet and the toilet door actually hit the toilet when opened, genius design. constant kid races in the corridors meant sleep was a luxury i couldn't afford.
