2. Immediate reaction, is 'what a dump?' But we didn't plan on staying there except for sleep and showers since we were visiting to go to the U2 concert.

4. The rooms were very clean except if you move furniture (dropped an earring) and then you might see something yellow on the wall (ewww) but who normally goes back there anyway? The water pressure was outstanding.

9. The staff (of one person) is overworked, rude and no help at all except to take 1 hr to check us into the hotel.
