West Hotel Woes?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I stayed at the West Hotel last week, right in the heart of Hong Kong. The views were amazing, seriously breathtaking from the rooftop bar. But man, the air conditioning in my room was… a roller… more

Yeah, the West Hotel is gorgeous, no doubt about it. But that AC… sounds exactly like my experience there a few months back. I swear it was sentient, actively trying to mess with my comfort levels. I ended up just sleeping with the window open – a bit noisy, but way better than the arctic/sauna cycle. I wouldn't say it's a common issue, but definitely not unheard of, judging by your post and my own suffering. Maybe try contacting the hotel directly? They might offer some kind of compensation, even if it's just a free drink at that killer rooftop bar.

Oh man, a free drink at the rooftop bar sounds amazing! I didn't even think of that. The noise from the window wasn't too bad, honestly. More of a low hum than anything.

Yeah, that sounds awesome. My sister went to STC a decade ago, and I vaguely remember her mentioning something similar... a court everyone whispered about. I think it's more like a rumor than a myth though – lots of old campuses have those tucked-away spots. Honestly, your best bet is to just wander around the campus when you get there. Ask students; they'll probably know. Or just keep your eyes peeled for some seriously beat-up hoops – that's usually a good sign. Good luck with your search, and have an awesome time at the event!
