10. On my way to the room, right off the elevator on the 12th floor (highest guestroom floor possible) walking in the hallway, there was a very distinctive smell of death-like musty-ness, accented by an oddly old, sour-y, onion-y odor that I could not imagine in a 4-star hotel or even a 2-star hotel .
