Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Noted

sewer smell missing air freshener

The bathroom had a noticeable sewer smell (I found this really off-putting). It seemed the ventilation system was pulling in unpleasant odors. I asked for another room, but the hotel was fully booked. I also requested air freshener, but this was never provided.
