The fans, athletes and media who've descended upon Sochi for the Winter Olympics this week may want to keep their standards low as far as accommodations are concerned. With the opening ceremony scheduled for tomorrow, a slew of disturbing tweets and images about the hotels, restaurants and buildings in the area have surfaced. Usually hotels provide water for those who wish to wash their face, they have lobbies and ceilings that aren't under construction, and guests don't have to wait until kingdom come before they are able to check in. Looks like this isn't the case in Sochi at the moment.
Here's an updated list of some of the most disturbing images that have appeared so far:
