we arrived at the cirebon station at 4, the station was nice and clean. having no ideas where to go from the station we decided to ask the railway officer about the affordable and the closest hotel to the station. walked out the station toward the main road then we saw a small hotel called the aurora. having checked the room then we decided to take the standard, double bed, air conditioned room at the second floor for 140k rups (15 us$) for a night only. the hotel was actually pretty neat and clean, except for the toilette flush that did not work properly and the disappearance of the air condition's remote control, yet!

the disaster continued after we had a long walk wandering around the city. we got back to the hotel at 10pm with our eyes couldn't hardly open.

i washed my face and feet then rushing up to the bed. but i couldn't really close my eyes due to the hot weather until we realized that the air condition was not working and the remote was also no where to find. i called the receptionist, and minutes later a guy knocked on our door then switched on the air conditioning with the remote control he had, and flown back down stair with the remote control still on him. leaving us wondered and later on frozen.

but that catastrophe wasn’t even over yet. at the middle of the dark cold night. i was awoken by the super noise sound of people laughing, shouting, doors slam, and an accelerated car. instantly and blindly i grabbed the phone and shared my concerns to the receptionist. however nothing really happened. and i couldn’t go back to my north pole dream ever since.

at 6am i madly woke up my friend telling her to pack the stuffs and rushed out from that cursed-damned hotel ; )

but don't worry in cirebon there are plenty of hotels from the backpackers class to the 5 stars, just don't go to the wrong one.
