9. the depleted faded brown( i think it was at at one time )bed spread was wrinkled in such a way as to look like it had been used allready prior to my arrival i could see the wrinkles looked lik the shape of a personthe dingy dull curtains were badly torn with a horizontal rip extending 15 inches and was amaturely sewn with what appreared to be kite string or a thick twine and was just plain nasty the 15 year old outdated tube tv had a terrible picture very dissapointing the smell of the chemicals possibly the cleaning chemicals insecticides that were heavily overused to probably mask something made it allmost impossible to stomach a room service meal the chemical smelling room was detectable when tasting the food durring the proccess of eating so i strongly advise you eat only in a restaraunt i dont think the food was bad but the room chemical smell made it taste that way on another note the bathroom was a pill box not fun to manage its very cramped in addition when i first encountered this terrible room i imediatly contacted concierge and they said they wood supply new pillows and a room change i said that i would accept the pillows gratefully and look forward to the room change the pillows arrived not in a timely manner and the following day the room replacement was never executed with no explanation of why at this point it was obvious what i was dealing with.
