When I checked in they gave me the only suite that was on a non-smoking floor and yet it smelled badly of smoke. I asked to change the room and the next room smelled so badly of mold. I was so tired I stayed there and woke on next morning with swollen face since I am allergic to mold. I won’t stay ever again here. On top of that the prices for breakfast and the cafe are outrageous.
