1. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and in spite of being on a smoke-free floor, I continued to smell cigarette smoke every night.

6. My fellow traveler complained about a horrible 'sewage' type smell in her room and they were just as unconcerned, neither one of us at anytime heard from any representative of the hotel.

10. The room was sparkling-clean and smelled good (a welcome change from our usual economy fare), the staff was friendly and helpful, a coffee maker and a fridge were available for tea breaks, and multiple eating-out options (from McDonald's next door to nice bistro to quality restaurant dining) were nice to have, doubly so since the hotel provided a bunch of discount coupons for each.
