CICERO

Sitting opposite an auto-repair shop in NOWY NADIR, Cicero isn't exactly a 5 star hotel. However, this is a fairly busy hotel, with both short-term and and some more permanent residents; people down on their luck looking for shelter on the cheap.

Cicero's rickety fire-escapes, stained linoleum and peeling paintwork are proof that time has left this hotel behind. You're sure that the claim of "Weekly & Daily Rates" plastered on the wall also includes hourly rates.
When it comes to service, it seems that you get what you pay for. The clerk, sat behind a disorganised and dusty desk, really isn't interested in up-selling the place. He tries his best to ignore anyone entering the poorly-lit foyer and remains focused on whatever sport he's watching on a small TV sat on the desk; there's not even a pretence that he's working.

The sees his job as being more security than hospitality. He sees off nuisance vagrants and calls the cops on problem tenants; you can do pretty much whatever you want in your room but those who fight too loudly can disturb him from his ballgame.

You get what you pay for at Cicero; not a lot...
