People in the hospitality industry should be hospitable, not outwardly tolerent of people. I would have asked to change rooms, due to the "splatter" up the bathroom wall, if it didnt require dealing with the front desk again. Paying $450.00 for two nights sleep and looking at a bottle of water with a $2.50 price tag hanging off it just made things worse. God help us
