Friendly front desk staff. I’ve stayed at this hotel a handful of times and haven’t had any issues but this stay was not welcoming. The room smelt like a 90’s bar , I tried to call front desk but nothing! I was on the bottom floor and the people above me We’re so loud ( while getting it on ) the whole hotel needs to be noise proof. The continental breakfast was good.
