Worn, dated room
Pros:

Rooms feel dated and worn out, which makes it feel dirty. Door is fit into doorframe with wood pieces that should not be there, as if the door was kicked out of the frame and then rigged temporarily. It would barely open and had to be forced back into the frame to be shut, which is a fire hazard. TV is on old LG LED model where the LEDs have burned out, creating large white dots across the screen. Would not stay here again and question the rating given the quality of the room. The rate is far too high for the quality, but then all of the hotels in this area have poor ratings.
