The view was nice. The room however stunk like greasy fried shrimp that hovered in the air. Turned in the AC with the door open to dissipate the odor. Slept all night with the slider open as the smell was overwhelming. Attempted to change rooms but it was too much with 95 year old. Brought to hotels attention first night and they sent housekeeping with spray bottle. Didn’t last. Hotel needs to compensate for at least 1 night. Thx
