adequate stay with some issues

decent roomstrong smoke smellpoorly sealed toilet

the room was decent enough for a short stay.

As soon as i entered my room, a strong smell of smoke hit me. This was unacceptable. the room also had no way to open any windows. the shower box was taped around the outside, and the toilet seat wasn't properly sealed at all. it seemed like the room was just not well maintained, frustrating.
