When you’ve been traveling, there is nothing quite as restorative as a shower to wash off the adventures of the day or to prepare for a new one. And while it’s difficult to predict hotel amenities until you’ve actually experienced them, you never really imagine that water would be considered a luxury ticket item. Imagine my surprise when I got into the shower, turned on the water, and nothing came out. There was just enough water trickling from the sink faucet to brush my teeth. Apparently brand new hotels aren’t immune to boiler problems. “They’re working on it,” I was told.
Pro tip: Don’t book a brand new hotel, give them a few months to work out the kinks.
