fire alarm
I waited ages. One morning, the fire alarm blared, sending everyone scrambling outside. It turned out to be just a drill. A heads-up would have been nice. The room itself felt a bit cramped, honestly.

There were issues with the room. The room was stuffy, it had no air conditioning, and opening the window was impossible because of the screen. I expected more from this hotel..
