There was a slight smell of mold which gave me a headache during the night. I’m susceptible to mold. From my point of view the air quality was not good. It seemed to mostly come from the bathroom but am not sure.

I originally booked this "hotel" on expedia It looked super clean and very modern, however when i arrived at the address, it was a motel ! check in was a bit slow but the gentleman who checked me in was kind and hospitable. I decided to stay and check it out. once I walked in to the room to check it out there was a room with a shower curtain that was dirty, the second room I booked was a bit cleaner however there was no shower door in that bathroom and it had bad lighting, the tub looked stained.
