Поки багато людей дебатує про те, чи достатньо снігу в Сочі для проведення Олімпіади, і чи готові технічно траси, журналісти починають активно прибувати в місто, селитись в готелях і діляться в Твітері досвідом жахливого побуту – пише WashingtonPost.
Наразі, в Сочі готові прийняти лише 6 з 9 запланованих готелів для журналістів. Інші досі стоять в будівельних лісах, або тривають ремонти всередині номерів. Але й ті, які вже приймають журналістів, справляють гнітюче враження. Більше про досвід журналістів дивіться в їх твітах та фотографіях:
This is the one hotel room @Sochi2014 have given us so far. Shambles. #cnnsochi pic.twitter.com/RTjEkmyan3

CNN booked 11 rooms in one @Sochi2014 media hotel five months ago. We have been here for a day and only one room is available. #cnnsochi

Still waiting for "preparations" on hotel room to finish. Hoping they're origami-folding toilet roll, rather than, say, putting the roof on.

I have a room! No heating or internet, but it has a (single) bed at least…

Got back to hotel. Lift broken after half day in use. Trekked up stairs. Door to my floor (that'd be the fire door) locked. Utter farce.

Water main break means no water at our hotel in #Sochi. Could take awhile to fix. #CTVSochi

The reception of our hotel in #Sochi has no floor. But it does have this welcoming picture. pic.twitter.com/8isdoBuytl

@bruce_arthur Hotel issues have been happening to a lot of people. Left out on the street, you risk being poisoned or trapped like the dogs.

Miss you, hot water in my hotel. You were great.

People have asked me what surprised me the most here in Sochi. It's this. Without question … it's … THIS. pic.twitter.com/1jj05FNdCP

Ok, so my hotel doesn't have a lobby yet.

For those of you asking, when there's no lobby in your hotel, you go to the owner's bedroom to check in. #Sochi2014

My hotel has no water. If restored, the front desk says, "do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous." #Sochi2014

Water restored, sorta. On the bright side, I now know what very dangerous face water looks like. #Sochi #unfiltered pic.twitter.com/sQWM0vYtyz

Also on the bright side: I just washed my face with Evian, like I'm a Kardashian or something.

Made new pal from La Presse as we struggled to find hotel. When we got to our (temporary) rooms his doorknob came off in hand #roadtosochi

Congrats to @Dave_Schwartz only media personality who's arrived in Sochi with a hotel room that's ready, with doorknob that doesn't fall off

Watch your step @Sochi2014 — I've noticed on walkway and on sidewalks that not all man holes are always covered. pic.twitter.com/a5Nv4wu5iA

Журналісти CNN отримали лише 1 з 11 замовлених ще 5 місяців тому кімнат. Вирішили написати про це голові оргкомітету – Дмитру Чернишенку:
@DChernyshenko Our media hotel is not ready Dmitry….11 rooms booked five months ago, only one ready. Please help.
