Our room was very clean, shower was amazing. Coffee downstairs was really good. Our air conditioning was not great, couldn't really get our room as cool as we'd like. The elevator smelled like burning electrical, told the staff, they were unconcerned! Other than that everything was good.

It was ok, for what it was

The first room had a strong wet carpet smell, and the second room did as well, just not as strong. The a/c in the room was also producing quite a lot of moisture which made the room feel a tad “muggy,” but also can explain why there was the smell of a wet carpet.

The room had a humid smell when we walked in. Smelled old and rancid. The carpet was dirty, furniture was old and paint was chipped. The rooms could definitely use a face lift.
