What the hell happened to the sink? Why is its plumbing all bandaged? Is it insulation in case of a freeze tonight? Are the pipes falling apart? Are they leaky? Anyone have a clue?
I stay in hotels from the top end (George V in Paris, Singita in Kruger) to this dump: Doubletree by Hilton at JFK. Avoid the Doubletree@JFK. Its breakfast is inedible.

Thanks Jackie. Never thought of that explanation! But what about the valves… the cold one wouldn’t be hot and it’s all taped up, too. I still consider this one a mystery.
Hot water pipes can become quite hot. The wraps protect children and wheelchair users.
Hotel too cheap to call in a plumber to fix some leaking pipes?
Are drains dangerous? I can’t imagine how…
Attempt to make drains safer for wheelchair users? I often see similar sheathing in hotel handicapped rooms. And thanks for the tip on the JFK Doubletree.
Shabby chic decor?
Odd.
