location is good, but some issues remain

damp smelldirty carpet
the room smelled. i changed my room twice. the staff was amazing at accommodating my request. the rooms still had a damp smell mixed with a smoky smell, even though we were booked a non-smoking room. the carpet felt and looked dirty. the walls had marks everywhere. i just didn't feel relaxed in this hotel.
