1. Our room had a weird smell, the carpet looked like it was 20 years old, there was no coffee maker in the room, and the furniture was pretty worn.

4. The Hotel has good location, but it is a 25 + years building, the rooms keep a terrible odor -smell, I had to ask to be change because the smell was unbearable, seems it is the air conditioning system, which must be old and with mold, generating that terrible smell in rooms and halls.
