Subterranean Hotel Blues

Apologies to Bob Dylan and his masterful song about The Man sticking it to the little guy and also the accompanying video, full of flipping signs.

There's a hotel in Tawau, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia (whew) that could make a poor guest blue. So many signs, so many warnings.

At check-in, the mean rundown. No Seafood! No stinky Durian! No fires, smoking, animals or vaping! What's left?


Add water and your bathroom is lethal. Your problem. You ingest it, you pay for it.

Even the lobby reception area has a mean mom-type of warning. What kind of flop house is this place?


Back in the room, putting a price on smoking. Did someone say price on something? How about everything. Yep, there's a replacement value list for absolutely all items in the room. By all means, take a mattress, maybe a TV or coffee table. You pay.

Back down in the lobby, you gotta separate the riff-raff from the valuable luggage.
