The room was clean; however, the room stunk of wet rag. We didn’t complain because we were only there for one night. It was also very loud.
There were black hairs in the bed. Called the front desk which seemed annoyed and they brought up sheets which I changed myself. The front desk person was clearly overwhelmed but when I’m paying 170 plus dollars I at least want clean sheets. The room smelled like mold. It was less than one star all around
