Tiny Rooms
The average prison cell is 8' X 12'. The room at park central is less than 12' X 18'. Fully furnished there was only room for one person between the bed and dresser. The bathroom was so small that the door cleared the comode by only 1". The walls could be touched by raising both arms with one arm reaching over the comode. There was approximately 3' X 3' of usable floor space. The room did not contain a refridgerator, microwave, TV guide, or coffee maker. We had to request shower caps, ice bucket liners, a refuse can, and phone book. A tooth pick that was on the bathroom floor was still there when we left three days after check-in, and a 1" X 1" piece of white paper I placed in the middle of the small floor space available in the living area was there for two days when we left. You do not have the choicee of air conditioning or heat. On our last night our room was at 77 degrees. The operator said that the air conditioning was turned off and we should open our window (on the 15th floor). We spent a sleepless night listening the traffic noise. However, TV did work.
