4. There were no pictures on the walls, the beds were very low and thin with a view to the bare pipes under the sink, the towels were thin, the furnishings were at least 15 years old, the TVs had very poor reception and no cartoon channels, the elevator worked only intermittently, the tub was gray/brown on the nonskid, the signage on the vanity mirror warning against theft was insulting, the desk clerk was complaining about her home life to me at check-in, the refrigerator smelled of mildew and they said they`d clean it out and never did, painters buckets and drop cloths crowded the corridor to our room, and the pool was closed (though we weren`t informed of that at check-in, nor of the painting).
