Walking into the room it smelled very bad, mixture of cigarette smell and other smells. And clean the filters in the air conditioning unit and smell eventually went away. AC unit must not have been draining properly room got extremely humid during the night. Made for an uncomfortable sleep. Other than those two things nice place to stay would probably stay again.
