"The hotel needs a tremendous amount of work and upgrade."

the hallways and stairs are very dirty and smelly. the shower curtain was nasty. the room reeked of cigar smoke. the phones to the rooms were not on. I had to walk downstairs to the front desk when I had problems. the air conditioner worked good, the refrigerator and microwave worked well and were clean. the room and bathroom are spacious.
