To no fault of their own, the hotel was without running water when I checked in. I'm unsure if was the severe storm that blew in or lack of maintenance from the city. The attendant checking me in offered no methods to mitigate the lack of running water. Even a few bottles of bottled water would've been fine. I'm glad I didn't plan on staying in for the evening. After I checked in, I left to catch up with an old friend, and we ended up closing out the local bar. When I returned at ~2am, the water was running again, so there's that.
When I first walked in after checking in, I immediately smelt musty cockroach. After living in a ghetto of a metropolis for ~5yrs, I'll never forget the smell cockroaches leave behind. Although, I didn't see any evidence of live cockroach activity, the familiar smell seeped out the walls. The tiles in the bathroom were not level, and some moved a bit when stepped on. I imagine there had been water issues in the past, which may be where the musty smell comes from.
