A place to stay if you don’t mind Smells

The building itself is very old, and the entire inside reeks of cigarettes and marijuana. The room we stayed in had a door to connect to the room next to it, and they were smoking marijuana all night. Our room reeked. The only thing going for this place is they have really comfortable beds.
