The toilet seat was covered in some sort of black grime when we arrived in the room... I had to clean it myself. The room was a bit cold, so I turned on the heater, but it is an ancient wall unit that is extremely loud, and doesn't have a thermostat. The pillows were also terrible (though the mattress was not bad.)
About an hour after being in the room, we heard a bunch of loud pops outside. It sounded like gunfire, so I ran to the window to see what was going on, then several cop cars whizzed past. Sure enough, there was a drive-by shooting or something (nobody was hit, but two cars were shot up in front of a home.)
