Pass on this One

The woman at the front desk at check in is super nice. The breakfast is very good. That is where the positive ends. -I stayed in room 102. It had a very musty smell and there was mold on the curtains. -The lawn crew for the hotel was out BEFORE 8am working. Why would you do that where people come to sleep? Do you not want people to sleep when they are paying you for a bed? -While my niece was still sleeping, BEFORE checkout, housekeeping came and woke her up. Why isn't it policy to leave people alone before checkout time?? I’m sure there were plenty of rooms to clean that had already dropped off their key cards. Again, do you not want people to sleep when they are paying you for a bed?
