Bad smell, poorly timed maintenance.
The smell in the hotel was awful. The room smelled like sewer. They shut the water off for “maintenance” at 830am in the morning, right when people were trying to get ready.

It was very nice, clean, friendly staff, etc. A bit noisy from the highway but I wear ear plugs myself so I was fine! Overall I’d highly recommend!
