Adequate Stay with Some Issues

helpful staffamazing viewsgood breakfastsmelly roomextreme noisedirty bathtub
The staff were great. Everyone was helpful and polite, a real plus. The views from my room were amazing. I found breakfast had many items to choose from, this was a great start to the day.
My room smelled, the carpet seemed to be the cause. It was loud, especially with a party going on. I found hair in the bathtub. Definitely not mine.
