The smoke alarm in my room inexplicably came on in the middle of the night. It was unbearably ear piercing for around 30 seconds and then turned off just as I was racing out the door half dressed. The front desk staff called to check on me but the phone didn’t work and so they couldn’t hear me. Also the ironing board was broken and one of the cups was chipped and had lipstick on it.
