The outside of the hotel and the inside of my room were pretty, but the inside of the hotel, outside of my room and the lobby, was shabby and smelly. I could get past the dated carpet and faded wallpaper if it wasn't for how horrible the place smelled. It was more bareable in the room, but you could still smell it. Periodically, there was a smoke smell but I wouldnt dare close the two inch maximum gap I could open the window to for fresh air. The scent stuck onto my luggage and clothes. After two weeks, I just need to deodorize my luggage set. Smaller details of the room were gross. A dead bug stuck on the head board, a live roach crawled by the kitchen, and the shower drain doesn't drain well. I had to wear chunky shower shoes my whole stay to not get my feet in the mini lake that would form. It's bareable if you keep the shower brief, the water pressure is really low anyway. If you have no other options, a bottle of perfume, and a decent lung capacity to hold your breath until you reach your room, you can make this place work. Don't pack too heavy though. The elevator was out. It's no fun dragging heavy luggage up a stair corridor that makes you gag.
