2. I walked in the room and opened the bathroom door to be hit with a wall of the most offensive odor-- I guess it was strong mildew but it smelled like a homeless men's locker room.

5. The bathroom had red nail polish all over the sink and counters and the room had a mildew odor that was embarrassing for a hotel that claimes to be 3.

8. First the good news - the staff was very friendly and accommodating to our large group at check-in, the concierge was helpful, there was no mildew in the bathrooms, the shower curtains were new, hair dryer was present and worked, plenty of shampoo and lotion, and best of all - no bed bugs.

9. In addition, the air conditioning did not work properly and the room and hallways had a mildew smell and the toilet had to be flushed a number of times to work properly.
