Do not stay here. As soon as we moved the bedding, a strong vomit odor hit us. Not faint, not surface-level. It was embedded in the mattress and spread through the room immediately, making it impossible to sleep. We immediately contacted the front desk. Staff barely reacted. Their “fix”? Stained sheets, uncovered pillows, and a blanket with no cover. No mattress protector was offered. We had to grab a blanket from the wardrobe and sleep as far away from the smell as possible. The hotel was fully booked, no alternative rooms were available, and it was past 11pm with a passed-out toddler, so leaving was not realistic. We had to rearrange the bed ourselves. I did not sleep at all. Later, they called it a “scent” complaint and claimed it was reported “nine hours after check-in.” Misleading. A mattress contaminated with vomit is unacceptable at any time. We were sold a room that was not clean, not sanitary, and not fit for occupancy. This stay shows a failure to meet basic cleanliness standards, unsanitary attempts at resolution, unresponsive staff, and no accountability. Any response blaming the guest instead of taking responsibility only confirms how poorly this property is run. Do not stay here."
