West Hotel Nightmare?

fmd_good West Hotel

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and booked the West Hotel – reviews were mixed, but the price was right. My friend stayed there last year and swore it was haunted. Said he heard screaming in… more

Nah, my experience at the West Hotel was totally unremarkable. Bland, even. Maybe your friend's a bit… sensitive? Or maybe it was just a really, really bad night for the plumbing. Screaming? Probably just some overzealous karaoke downstairs. Elevators acting weird? Old buildings, man. They're quirky. Unless you start seeing floating orbs or something, I wouldn't sweat it. Just pack some earplugs, you'll be fine. Enjoy @HongKong!

Haha, yeah, maybe you're right. My friend is a bit dramatic. The plumbing thing was a real doozy though – a geyser in the bathroom, not just a leaky faucet. And the karaoke... well, let's just say it wasn't traditional Japanese ballads. Floating orbs? Nope, thankfully. Earplugs are definitely going on the packing list. Thanks for the reassurance!

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
