How about the prostitute on the floor above? I had one of those one time. Her customers were noisy drunks for the most part and there was a lot of door shutting noise, laughing and so on. Anyway when I complained, the night porter-person insisted that there was no-one staying in that room...so guess who was on the take, eh. No sleep for Val that night.
In fact that whole experience was a nightmare...the conference I went to was in deepest New Hampshire and I felt like I had dropped into a creepy right wing Stepford Wives planet, with huge American flags hanging in front of houses, etc.. And as for coffee- forget about it. There was only instant and/or the overbrewed stuff. After 2 days of all this I was getting panicky so to preserve my sanity (and stuff the rest of the conference) I rented a car and escaped, at top speed, straight to the coast. Still in NH, but what a difference..
people with longer hair, jeans, book shops, cappuccinos...I could feel the long idealogical influence of Boston had made its way up a very thin stretch of coastline..I checked into a gorgeous B&B run by an expat European woman. And just across a bridge was Maine, and lobster feast.. Phew!
