A haunted hotel room

We were given room 1004 and it is haunted. Our room was blackout and in total darkness for 4 times as the room card flew off to the ground by itself breaking the circuit. It was on the ground each after we placed it back, we immediately request for changing of room and no questions were asked by the front desk.

Room smelled like cigarettes, went away after we turned on the ac. Bathroom’s shower tub was outdated and water spilled out immensely. The shower curtain did not do anything to prevent it. Laundry room hours were 10-10 which was terrible because we were out during those times being tourists and exploring the city. Was hoping we had 24 hour access to wash our clothes. Breakfast was good, however needs better labeling in English.
