1. Furthermore a didn't like the rather funny smell in the lobby and hallways, Parking is just accross the street, as a visiter of the grant hotel you get a reduced fee for parking.

2. From the extremely, extremely rude lobby attendants, to the disgustingly dirty YELLOW/BROWN linens, to the cigarette burnt bed covers, to the nauseating, and unrelenting smell of raw eggs throughout (including the rooms) and aside from the fact that you have to borrow the hair drier from the lobby.

3. I would like to start off by saying that a previous reviewer who scored it 1 out of 5 and commented that the hotel smelled of urine is totally unfair, so if you are reading this review and thinking of staying at the hotel, PLEASE IGNORE THAT REVIEW - it is totally wrong, off putting to would be travellers and damaging for the hotel itself.

6. To be honest, the smell of public areas is terrible, but once in your room, it is a clean small room, really what you pay for (cheap), and an incredible location.

7. It is beyond me why there are reviews that don't mention this, the whole place (lobby,hallways and rooms) strongly smells like a mix of urine and some cleaning chemical.
