3) Your exhausted and you want to crash fast and get some rest.
4) It is close to the airport on a layover
5) It is close to your departure and you want to be on the first flight out
6) Almost every other place is booked

I am sure there are other reasons, but that is the gist. I have never had a water pressure problem at any HI I have stayed at though. That is absolutely a good thing.

I stay because the 5000 bonus point rates are very good and are still within our company limits for hotel rates. The free Bora Bora stays add up quickly.
