Show of Hands

who gives a shit about wifi? I can live without a shower (bath), toilet (just plug yer nose and use an outhouse) and no beds, but no hot water, door Knobs (privacy?) is unacceptable. they could've been a bit more ready

Sounds 3rd world

They had so much to spend on the road to the olympic stadium, yet they can't afford to properly furnish a hotel?

It's Russia, what did you expect, a 5 star hotel.

I could do without doorknobs and shower curtains, but what I could really, really do without would be the shower surveillance cameras.

One person posted a picture of LIVE WIRES in the SHOWER!!!!

No beds? What makes it a hotel then?

Then leave that shitty Country.

It's ridiculous and sad for the athletes who worked so hard to get there. I heard that they are asking Russian citizens to donate pillows and blankets...really?!

I'm sorry. Clean water is a 100% must

Hey, it's Russia. Enjoy the natural beauty of their country, pray you stay safe, and don't take for granted how wonderful we have it in America.

Certain of those are unacceptable, but bear in mind, they're probably staying at a low end (Russian) hotel.

Every time I here about the this story it makes me so happy that I'm here and not there :)

Some of them are whiny. But no beds? How do you expect them to compete to their best if they aren't rested?

It's Russia!

Wifi is pretty whiny, but all others I would say are legit.

alot of those are basic essentials. a responsible gov would not allow those places to be open during g an international event. it makes the entire area look like a slum

There's Communism for ya

In Soviet Russia...

They just had an article on CBS this morning where they won't let our team bring in their young yogurt. What a nasty bunch of work.

Some of it is whiny because what did they expect? It's Russia! But come on, you're expecting thousands of people in your town and you can't even get a damn door knob or clean running water? How embarrassing.

I think it's rather humorous that all those commie leaning media are getting a taste.

Im confused. Is this what $51 billion buys these days Wow. I had no idea that inflation has gone up that much.
P.s. I bet the rooms are bugged and computers will be hacked as soon as they plug the wifi in.

Come on, man up people! It Russia for god sakes!

Host cities of the Olympics are responsible to cater to all of the nations attending. Salt Lake City placed a lot of focus on welcoming the world with friendly accommodations.

That's unacceptable even by Russian standards, come on!

I've been to Russia before & my cheap room at least had electric outlets, TV & a working bathroom! The internet didn't like me, but I was ok.

Wifi: Whiny expectation
The rest: Unacceptable

Eh, things like door knobs are overrated. It's only a Siberian winter. They need to man up.

My friend sent me this article...I find it kind of funny.

Ummm really Russia?
Ah well. At least we know who's not getting the Olympics again.

Definitely unacceptable. There was one reporter who said the front desk told them "our water isn't working right now, but when it does don't put it on your face because there is dangerous stuff in it." Welcome to Russia!

The IOC decided to give Russia the olympics over South Korea or Austria (the only countries to put in bids). So you get what you deserve as those countries probably would've done better.

Things are far worse than I thought.

Why do we need bourgeois things like water?

These are Olympic athelets. They deserve these thing *at least* for the amount of sh!t they had to go through to get there. I mean, c'mon, a bed? Hot water?
