the hotel foyer and restaurant are all pretty okay looking but the rooms upstairs facing out onto the street are truly grim. there were 50+ cockroaches (mixture of alive and dead) in the room - even in the bed. there was a lot of noise from the street also late at night - all contributed to a pretty horrible sleepless...
