Acacia, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

Strong unpleasant smell in the room

We planned to stay a total of 3 nights but decided to switch to a different hotel for the last two. Not sure why (maybe from the wood on the ceiling) but there was a strong unpleasant smell in the room. We chose the place because it included free parking but we’ll not return in the future.
