After check in we discovered our room smelled of mold. Due to sinus allergies, we could not stay there. Unfortunately, no additional rooms were available. I am not upset about the lack of availability for an alternate room. I am upset for the poor care that led to the room reeking of mold in the first place. Additionally, one of the front desk attendants spoke to us rudely. She was very short in the manner that we were spoken to. We were offered a refund for which I am awaiting confirmation.

Make sure you don’t forget the breakfast voucher. The hostess swarms you. Expensive for what you get, and they are quick to remind you that only one tiny drink is included. Thanks for my tiny coffee. To top it off, they ask for a tip at the end… of a buffet breakfast.
