We were travelling in a small tour group. The hotel is desperately in need of some updating. The moment we entered the hallway leading to our room, the smell of stale cooking odours greeted us. The air conditioner in our room was not functioning properly, and the smell in our room was obnoxious, so we opened the window only to... more
