bathroom designdroning wave

the bathroom design was a disaster. every time i showered, it flooded. i stood in what reminded me of an inch of water just to do my hair and makeup. also, there was this strange, droning wave sound that came and went all night. it woke me up a few times during both nights of my stay. its a real shame as the rest of the hotel was fine.
