Totally a sinus infection headache.
Check is was easy . Clerk was friendly. Beds looked new. The room Stunck of mold and mildew. Carpet by bathroom snows mold and age. Carpet really needs replacing. Woke up with a nauseous sinus headache. Still feeling sick hours later. If your planning to stay here ask the to air the room out in advance.
Mold in bathroom.
Mold growing in carpet.
Beds were comfortable and appear newer .
