The interior of the hotel was dark, gloomy, and in disrepair. Furnishings were worn. The atmosphere of our room was more like that of a funeral parlor or the Addams Family home than a cheerful, elegant, and well-kept hotel. Our bathroom window wouldn't close, allowing loud noise from local bars to enter. A closet knob was ready to fall off. The floor was not level and met the walls at odd angles, creating a fun house effect. The two leather chairs were too uncomfortable to sit in for more than a couple minutes because the seats slanted from back to front like ski slopes, making the occupant feel he was about to slide off. It was truly rather unpleasant; we did not look forward to returning to our room at the end of each day.
