Room 103 was musty and smelled. Everything felt damp, including the carpet and bedding. The door handles, fixtures, and desk area had a film of dampness. We got to our room around midnight (too late to switch rooms) and left at 8:00AM. We told the front desk person that it was extremely musty, humid and damp in the room, and she apologized and said she woukd have maintenance look at it.

The room was nicely equipped but had a strange odor and was very damp and humid making it very uncomfortable. And yes, we ran the AC to try and lower the dampness, but it did not help. And yes, I do understand humidity as I live in Houston and experience it daily.
