"Stay was great except for the fact that there was a pile of trash sitting outside my room when I checked in. Also, my room smelled… “damp” the entire time. And since the windows don’t open, I was unable to air out the room. Luckily I only had to deal with it for one night.
Did want to note that the windows were very dirty from the outside so I was unable to fully enjoy the view."
