spacious roomdirty bathpipe smell

The Superior Room with Two Double Beds was spacious. Staff offered assistance with our luggage.

The room felt smaller than expected for a family. The bath needed a better cleaning. I found a ring of dirt, which I cleaned myself. A smell emerged from the pipes by day four. Someone addressed it temporarily, but the odor returned.
