basic stay near the steakhouse

good pricecheap air freshenernoticeable gap
the price was good because of the proximity to the famous steakhouse.
The room smelled strongly of cheap air freshener and felt musty. It was not fresh at all. there was also a noticeable gap under the front door and i could hear dogs crying next door. the doors even had some rude things written on them.
