Worst Shower in Romania
We thought we'd book a cheap hotel near the airport for our last night in Romania. We would have been better off just sleeping at the airport. The bed was as hard as a rock, and the pillows were basically just wishes covered in pillowcases. The bathroom was the absolute worst. The toilet flushed twice before it stopped flushing altogether. We reported it to the front desk, and they said they'd fix it. But it seems that someone just came into the room to manually fill the tank back up with water because after two more flushes, it stopped working again. The water coming from the sink had a very foul odor. But the piece de resistance was the shower. I turned on the water and let it run for about 30 seconds, waiting for it to warm. It didn't. "No problem," I thought. "I'll just hop in, take a quick cold shower, and get out." After about a minute, the water went from cold to scalding hot. I tried to adjust the temperature, but the water would not cool. It was the most painful shower I've ever had, and the hot water left marks on my back. My husband waited about 15 minutes and hopped in for his shower. The water was still scalding hot, and after he had lathered up, the water just cut off completely. Over the next 20 minutes, it would come out in squirts and spurts for a few seconds at a time. Everything in the room was dirty and worn, and between the constantly crowing rooster and barking dogs outside, neither of us got much sleep.
