Property needs a lot of improvement

I got a roll that had a bad smell in the bathroom. No AC but a small portable fan which was not effective at all. I changed rooms and the smell was less but still there in the bathroom. Elevator went off and had to struggle with luggage downstairs. Generally not a pleasant stay.

Pros: Great customer service. Rooms are equipped with the latest technology. Good view. Fair price. Cons The food sucker releases unpleasant smell in the hallway and rooms closer to the hallway window to the right side. There is also bad smell in the bathrooms. Also avoid rooms facing the street. The widows are not insulated. You might face power outage as their generator does work on full capacity.
