Worst Hotel Ever

Due to the increasing need to demotivate and punish staff reduce operating costs I experienced a new low this week.

In summary:

Bathroom (shower, sink, toilet) total size 3'x6' means can't even sit on the throne straight and have to be a contortionist to get some paper unless you stand up and turn round, making sure you don't get caught up in the shower curtain

No aircon and also no natural airflow, hot days and uncomfortable nights

View out the window is the street level of Montparnasse which includes heavy traffic virtually all night (so it's open window to get some air and lots of noise, or close window to get a little noise reduction and no air)

my window is right above a bar with an open front so I get to hear all the 'fun' from there

a tiny 'desk' to work at causing increased RSI pain

all in all this trip was horrendous in terms of my comfort and wellbeing but hey it saved the company about �200 so has to be worth it - right .....
