While down there, he also found a remote control and various other odds and sods (like the post-coital collection pictured above). He only removed the remote, though. Perhaps he thought the condom wrapper gave a frisson to the room, or maybe he left it as a monument to the bravery of whoever dared to get busy in a place less roomy and distinctly less salubrious than a toilet cubicle.

Further problems plagued the rest of the room, which is comparable to a small walk-in closet. JuliaB noted the "headboard had grease stains all over it, the carpet didn’t look clean, the mattress had protruding springs, and it stank", thanks to the tenants that still occupy many of the rooms in the building. (You can get around the stench by requesting a non-smoking floor, or more specifically, the sixth floor which has no tenants living on it.)

The room only cost $89 but remember, you still have to share a bathroom down the hall. Interestingly, JuliaB said the bathrooms were well-designed, pretty clean and rather wait-free. So long as you don't mind brushing your teeth next to an 18-year-old German skateboarder.

In short, you probably want to skip The Jane especially when you can pay a little bit more on Hotwire, Priceline or Quikbook and get a proper, clean hotel room.
