It was beautiful, but rooms on first floor smelled really moldy. Otherwise clean. Yes, I asked for some type of Febreze or something and they never did it. Very shortstaffed in the restaurants, but they handled it well when people were upset. I would stay again because of location and cost. But I will beg for another floor
