When my wife and I entered our room. We perceived a foul smell. Something in between humid and foot odor. We figured out it was the carpet in between the beds. It was really old and dirty. We requested a room change after being there for 5 minutes and we were told it was all booked, and they brought a room freshener. But it didn’t change anything. Plus there was hair in the bathtub. It’s ok to have an old property but it should be to a high cleaning standard.
