The room smelled of stale smoke, but there was no opportunity to switch. A used towel from a previous guest was left in the bathroom. Noise from the upper floor room was very loud stsrting early in the morning. Parking was a challenge. I wish i could say something more positive, but this was a disappointing stay.
