There was a bad smell when I entered the room. The smell was as if someone just used the room. The hotel should provide some room freshener before assigning the room to a new customer.

Our biggest disappointment is that expedia has it as a shuttle service to & from airport, (the reason i picked that hotel). When i asked at check-in, i was told that service was no longer available and that expedia has not updated the website. I had to pay for 2 ubers totalling close to $60. I would of chosen differently if the shuttle was not a part of the stay.
