3. My only gripes are you can't flush the toilet more than once every half hour because the tank takes so long to fill, the shower head is only about 5 feet above the bottom of the tub, and the room had a musty smell.

The room smell so bad and discusting; the hotel doesnt have wireless internet; the room is old with a kitchen of thirty years old; it would be better to take it out and make nice toilets; the breakfast was so poor sharing the butter and the peanut butter; it is one star hotel with price of three stars hotel.
