Filthy depressing hotel

The place was in a dangerous area. It wasn't well lit or felt very safe. Emergency vehicles were always driving by and there was garbage everywhere outside. Inside the room smelled strongly of cleaning agents. There was hair on the pillows and roaches. The lighting made it feel like you were in the street at night. There was even a ball of hair and other stuff on there floor. The "head board" was some tiles on the wall and the paint was slopped over them in planes. The bed sheets were dirty.
