The room was dated with dirty wallpaper and a smell of stale cigarettes. Then for the whole night, the guest next door had his TV on some channel with b&w reruns such as the Twilight Zone and westerns ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I thought that hotels reserved rooms that were separated by an empty one. The bed was ok but I've had better ones in a Holiday Inn. Breakfast was expected and nice. TY.
