Umm... I had to just deal with it.
The pictures on the net are old.
The chair in the room, even though it is supposedly a non-smoking room, has several cigarette burns and it was really dusty- pat it and dust fluffs out.
The closet! OMG! It seriously smelled like sewage, the shower was directly behind the wall in the closet, so maybe there is some leakage going on- it smelled like a really dirty litter box. I had to take clothes out for fear they would smell bad.
The family that owns it, were watching me unload my car, and as I went in and out of the hotel room and my car.
I was lucky to find a parking spot, even though there were still some vacancies.
I left the cooler to keep the air circulating, but once in a while, that bad closet stench was in the room.
It was the closest place to Stanford that had a room available due to college starting and a concert in Mountain View.
