Goodbye to the Volcan

This morning I took my last shower and had my last croissant at the Volcan hotel. The Volcan hotel is mediocre at best, by anyone's standard. The rooms are really small. They have A/C in the summer and heat in the winter, but never both at the same time. The shower stalls are impossibly small, and the base of them are shaped like 25% of a pie chart - not sure how to explain it any better than that. They have tile on two sides, and a shower curtain that covers the curve. The problem is that the water pools around the edges, then runs out onto the bathroom floor. The result of this is that you get to shave and comb your hair in a swimming pool. Neat. The reception is only open certain hours each day. There is at least one thing broken in each room. Sometimes it's as simple as a light bulb that never works, sometimes it's something more significant like a toilet that doesn't flush properly. The towels reek of dry cleaning chemicals that as soon as your done with your shower and dry off, you also stink of dry cleaning chemicals. Neat.
