terrible odor small room
The staff helped accommodate a large dinner group when I arrived on a busy Thursday. I thought the atmosphere in the bar was fine.
My room had a terrible odor. I think a wet patch in the carpet at the door caused it. The window did not open. It prevented fresh air from circulating. I found the allocated room far too small.
