mildew smelllimited options
My stay started well, but a few things went wrong. the front desk seemed understaffed. Check-in took longer than it should have. also, the room i was initially given smelled faintly of mildew. i requested a change, and thankfully, they moved me to another room, but it was still a hassle. finally, the breakfast buffet had limited options for someone with dietary restrictions, and i found myself eating the same thing every morning.
