2nd Worst hotel stay in 40 years

Every single piece of furniture in this room is broken or damaged in some way. Everything is dirty. The room smells like smoke. The metal walkway outside the room echoes like a submarine.

I had higher hopes based on the photos, but I was let down in reality. Rooms were rapidly cleaned right before arrival, surfaces were very wet when we arrived. Some surfaces were not wiped at all. The property condition was very poor overall.
