I gave 2 stars because our room had a mildew smell and when looking for the cause we found a spot in the bathroom over the tub where the room above us leaked water and it came through. It wasn’t treated so it caused mold spores and a potent mildew smell. Also, the front desk staff were very rude and far from friendly.
