"The hotel is showing its age, but it’s very clean. Now let’s talk about the shower…I would buy a room here just for the shower pressure. I imagine it’s comparable to standing under Niagara Falls, mist included. Whatever wrong you find here, this fact alone should right it. Just be sure to pull that knob hard."
