friendly staffslow draining sinkchlorine water
The staff were friendly enough. I guess that's something.
The bathroom sink clearly hadn't seen bleach in ages. It drained slower than molasses. i also noticed there wasn't a bottle of water in the room, and the tap water tasted like a swimming pool. Chlorine central it was.
