Don't let the pictures fool you!

I was booked into this hotel by my corporate office, and they have spent the last two weeks apologizing. The entrance to the hotel is through the "Betty Boop Diner", so finding the hotel is a challenge, especially as it's in the heart of the Tenderloin, and you have to fight your way through street people to even get to the doorway once you find it.
The rooms have no air conditioning, and the windows discourage opening for fresh air (you can't be sure what else will come in).
The bathroom had a drain in the floor with standing water in it (apparently they just hose the room out - I would've been afraid to take a shower in bare feet); the ceiling above the radiator was covered with what appeared to be black mold; the building brace running through the room had 2-inch thick dust on it; the "bathroom" sink was right next to the bed, outside the bathroom.
I would not be at all surprised to find out that the rooms rent by the hour, or that a couple of them were inspected by CSI.
