lift rebellion stair signs

apple gave a comprehensive tour of the hotel and seemed genuinely passionate. it was.. acceptable.

The lifts proved problematic. They refused to stop at my floor! it was like some kind of lift rebellion i wasn't informed about. also, finding anyone who knew where the stairs were seemed like a quest. maybe they should invest in a stair-finding dog.. or just, you know, signs.
