8/10 Very Good

Potable water that isn't.
I love this hotel, but encountered a strange, and hazardous situation on this stay. This time, unlike on previous stays, there was a wall mounted faucet labeled "Potable Water above the bathroom vanity (but not over the sink). I tried it, and when I pushed the button, water under very high pressure, discharged explosively, causing quite a mess — but this was not the problem! When I mentioned a maintenance person, what happened, she replied "Oh, you shouldn't use that, it is out of order — that water is not potable." When I said that in that case, the non-potable water should be shut so people don't drink it (as I did!). She seemed not to take my concern seriously, stating that "bottled water was on the desk" and guests "should use that", even when I said that people could become ill from drinking it.
This is a potentially serious public health issue, and must be dealt with, urgently.
