Floors were filthy (a few small splatters of what appeared to be blood near the entrance to the bathroom, hair, dust, etc.) I had to kill two bugs in bathroom, elevator out of order, in-room phone had no wires attached to call front desk, light switch for light fixture above bathroom mirror not reachable without climbing onto sink. Also the walls are very thin so it was very hard to sleep until the bars were closed, street emptying and other guests settling down.
