I’ve been too poor to relate to that.
And it didn’t matter because you didn’t have the key card anyway.
In my experience 12 year olds are pretty impervious to temperature fluctuations. Little bastards dive into freezing water like it’s nothing and run around in the scorching sun, not even noticing that they sweat through all their clothes.

Wow, I can immediately see how that would be so much worse. Thank the gods that I was born after cigarettes started to be banned in public areas.
As a child of the 80s and former smoker, I actually find the lingering smell of cigarettes in a smoking room super comforting, to the point that if a hotel has a smoking room option I take it.

Liminal space vibes.
