Not the best

The room smelled like mildew, there were bugs and other droppings along the wall and in corners. There was a mystery splatter on the bedskirt. The bathroom door wouldn’t lock and the security latch on the main door was broken off. The body wash was empty in the shower. Would not stay again.

It was ok, for what it was

The first room had a strong wet carpet smell, and the second room did as well, just not as strong. The a/c in the room was also producing quite a lot of moisture which made the room feel a tad “muggy,” but also can explain why there was the smell of a wet carpet.
