The hotel smelled like mildew throughout our experience. There was a lack of towels available, and the ones that we had were dirty. We requested more towels and was told that there were no more towels in the entire hotel due to the hotel being sold out. Then we were given a couple of towels a few hours later. We were staying at the hotel for 3 nights, and had to ask that the room be cleaned, it was not automatically cleaned. Unfortunately I will not stay at this hotel ever again and will not recommend.
