I was just looking for a clean room to sleep. I wasn't looking for any additional amenities. There were short hairs (like someone shaved) along the corners of the sink and on top of supposedly clean, folded towels. Dirty around the faucet. Some of the walls were dirty. A towel was dirty and/or stained. Stains on the pillows. Supposed to be a nonsmoking room but smelled like smoke. The hot and cold plumbing were reversed.
