Non-smoking room, reeked of smoke and cigarettes. They bed covering was burnt with cigarette holes, roaches in room, loud noise from the traffic. Thin walls can hear people in the next room talking, feels shady like you have to watch your back. And hookers coming in and out of the hotel working. Place is a dump.
