Our room was not up to 4 star standards. The furniture was not kept up, neither was the bathroom. We needed to be moved to another room that also had chipped furniture and was dusty. I did share my concerns with the front desk staff. I see this as a 3 star. However, I would say the lounge area on the 1st floor was nice.

I want to first start off by saying my overall stay (from Thursday, July 24, 2025 - Sunday, July 27, 2025) was great up until the last night of my trip. I started in Room 614. Early Sunday morning, I arrived at my room around 1:00am, noticed Sulfur/rotten egg smell around 1:30am then cut off unit in the room at 1:33am. Called maintenance and he arrived saying that the smell was throughout the hotel but when we came in the hallway then went downstairs to the lobby, we no longer smelled the Sulfur/rotten egg smell. Front desk claimed the smell was in other areas of the hotel then proceeded to put us in another room, 701, which I appreciated. The next morning the same front desk clerk changed her story to say that no other room had that issue but us and that they unclogged the drain on the 7th floor so the smell might have come from that. Smelling Sulfur like that in a room is VERY serious and I felt like maintenance, along with the front desk clerk did not take it as seriously, which is concerning. Hopefully with this review, someone will do some further investigation on what was causing the smell and not put another guest in that room until it's resolved.
