7.6/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
Hi there! This has been a fine stay otherwise, but I wanted to note that our room bathroom was very stinky when we arrived. It smells like sulfur/sewage. None of us has gone to the bathroom to make it this way. But the time we noticed (we were all unpacked with our luggage by the time we realized it; the bathroom door was closed and locked when we arrived - odd), we didn’t want to trade rooms because we would have to re-pack everything. Just wanted to make note of it.
