The room had a very strong odor. Smelled like mildew and it smelled even worse if we turned the AC off. We had to leave the AC on very low to help with the smell so we were freezing and the blankets were very thin. The vents in the room were very dusty, like they hadn’t been cleaned in months. When I mentioned it to the staff they said they would let the cleaning staff know. I’m sure they are well aware of the smell in the room. The smell was so bad that our clothes smelled liked it. One night my husband and daughter were up coughing most of the night probably due to the smell. After a couple days of staying there and it still being the same and not being offered to switch rooms we decided to check out two days earlier and go somewhere else. And we were not refunded for the days we left early due to the room conditions. It seems like the hotel is under construction and there are newer rooms and older rooms. I believe we got stuck in the old stinky rooms.

This place is in desperate need of repairs. I had to have my first assigned suite changed due to mold, rotting, rust, and curtains not fully closing. I was HORRIFIED in that first room. I didn't even want to take off my back pack or put anything down. Thankfully I was switched, but then the view was lacking... The furniture seems like it's from the 80's, but I managed since I couldn't get a refund, because I 100% would have gotten a refund if I could.
