Rooms stink like stale cigarette smoke
The Kamberg suite had a terrible stench of stale cigarette smoke and the other room did not smell much better, the air conditioner was not working, no remote control. Hence we did not check-in to the establishment. Terrible experience and now we have to go the legal route to get refunded.
