decent Location, needs some updates

outdated decor musty smell

The hotel definitely needs some work. The outdated decor is pretty noticeable, and the room smelled a bit musty. I had to air it out a bit When I got there, opening A window. The bathroom was oddly shaped and small and water was all over the floor When the shower was running.
