adequate stay overall

central location modern conveniences clean rooms artificial smell small lift smeared glass
the location was very central. it. the rooms were very clean. they had all the modern conveniences i needed.
i found the corridor had a strong, artificial smell. the smell was from plug-in air fresheners. it seemed like an attempt to mask deeper issues. the lift was small and the glass casing was smeared.
