However, Gilbert’s time in London has gotten off to a disappointing start, with the American taking to social media to air his grievances about the state of hotels in Europe.The 62-year-old criticized the design of the bathrooms after experiencing repeated issues with soaked floors during his stays in Rome, Paris and now London, contending that the shower design makes “zero sense.”
“Does anyone have good 👍 explanation ? 3 consecutive hotels 🏨 I stayed in Rome Paris now London,why the half glass shower door 🚿 seems to only get bathroom floor completely soaked, makes absolutely zero sense, they have have had for over 40 years that I have been coming to Europe,” he posted on X.
