1. We have stayed on the 9th floor, the main corridor was almost smelled of mildew.

2. As soon as the elevator stopped at our floor and you exited the elevator there was a horribly smell of musky, wet carpet (like wet cat) all through the floor, you had to actually hold your nose until you got to the room, the room did not smell like that.

3. Other guests on the 1st and 2nd floor also commented on the odd smell.

4. The 1st and 2nd floor also had a pervasive odor that smelled like the beach, or something that was trying to pass itself off as beach smell.

5. First off, I was told that nothing beats the smell of The Swan when you first walk into the lobby (I think I was told by the staff it was a white tea and some other mixture of scents).

6. I liked the Dolphin better -- there was no weird musty smell like in the Swan, and service was better.

7. And I also, had a moldy, musty smell in my Swan room when the air conditioner was turned on.

8. It was like musty, moldy, sweaty smell, and it got worse when we opened the drawers.

9. We called the front desk regarding the closet door (no one ever came), and the foul smell.

10. I didn't care for the loud DJ music by the pool one afternoon (fun family party atmosphere when I was looking to relax) The only compliant I have is that our room smelled like a wet dog at times stronger than others.
