Liked: Staff & service
This hotel is new and everything is beautiful (property, common areas, room) but the entire place (hallway, stairwell, and most importantly, room) smells like wet dog or dog pee (or both). The hotel is obviously pet friendly (which is great for those who need that), but the smell is very noticeable when you walk into your room or down the hall.
