The hotel is beautiful and the staff fantastic! Unfortunately we had to change our room when we returned from our event at 10 pm. When we returned the room smelled like sewage and the carpet was damp. The staff moved us immediately, but it was inconvenient and left me feeling uneasy about the cleanliness of the hotel.
