I booked this property because it was close to airport. When I walked in the lobby I noticed a smell like wet carpet and the doors were open it was hot outside. Im not sure if there was a leak or what but there were fans on the floor as well. When we got to the room it smelled worse, very musty smell and it was hot in the room. The a/c was bumped up to 75. I requested another room which they gave me, it still smelled but not as bad the a/c was also at 75, once I lowered it and it cooled off the smell kind of died down. I lysol the enitre room. Thankful we only had to stay 1 night to catch our flight in the morning.
