Ah yes, the Royal Inte****ional, as you can see in the pictures, is a special one.
Our room, room 110, which is right above the missing letters in the picture from outside, , was nothing like the pictures suggested. In fact it might have been a 1 star hotel room for all we could tell. We went camping for four days earlier and slept better in the green being hunted by mosquitos than we ever could have in this room. It was supposed to have AC, which in the summer would have been great. Unfortunately the room description was mistaken. Instead we had a set of very large windows to cool the room, not the same as an AC unit and certainly not as comfortable but we somehow managed in this hot room, in a 4 star hotel. Same for the mini fridge, which was missing from the place you would usually find it. There was an actual hole in the furniture, just about the size of a mini fridge... In a 4 Star hotel.
The carpet looks like it was taken straight out of a pleasure house, with stains and tears in it, all the while smelling like something died on it long ago, in a 4 star hotel.
We specifically ordered the room for a double bed, which turned out to be two single beds placed together, not too uncommon but still a nuisance, in a 4 star hotel.
My blanket wasn't even a blanket, it was a bed cover stuffed in a blanket cover...
All while not even offering wifi in our room to at least stream comforting music to calm our senses, at least the neighbouring hotel was kind enough to offer us refugee entrance into the World Wide Web via their guest network we could barely receive. That's how 4 star hotels are supposed to be.
The bathroom had mold in certain spots, had a wobbly sink and no working ventilation, so we relied on those big windows in the other room to circulate out the moist air after showering, in a 4 star hotel.
Breakfast was okay....
