basic stay with some issues

peeling paint unsecured door
the location was central, i could walk to nearby restaurants.
the hotel interior was really dated. the paint was peeling and dirty in places. there was no way to properly secure the room door from the inside, i found that unsettling. the towels felt old and frayed too.

mixed feelings about this place

low water pressure street noise
the room smelled strongly of stale smoke. the shower had very low water pressure, it made showering difficult. some of the furniture looked quite worn, this detracted from the overall appearance. i also found the noise from the street disruptive. i struggled to sleep well because of the thin walls and constant traffic sound
