4/10 – Matig

The toilet seat always fell when I raised it, and the front underside of the lid was sticky. The ceramic tile floor of the bathroom and adjoining sink area was nice and clean, but also exceptionally slippery, even when dry and even when my feet were shod. The TV remote would not turn the set on or off: I had to experiment to discover that only working the Standby switch on the set itself would do that. True to its era of construction, the room’s ceiling was paper-thin. I hoped to sleep at 9:00, and that’s when a party entered the upstairs room and thundered like stampeding buffalo for at least an hour. Also noisy was traffic on Hwy 1, less than 100 feet away, although I was able to mask those sounds by turning the fan on high. Finally, cell phone reception was terrible, with about half a “bar.” The two times I spoke to someone, the calls failed halfway through, and I couldn’t open most of the incoming messages. On the plus side: a good shower, a reasonably comfortable bed, a handy clock, a Keurig coffee machine, and a fridge with freezer compartment. But this was both the priciest lodging on my trip ($217) and the worst.
