We were very grateful for the warm welcome we received upon arrival. However, once in the room, we noticed a strong, persistent smell of paint or dampness. I have severe allergies and was currently experiencing an attack. I requested a room change, but they did not have any other available room, they offered me a diiferent hotel or a refund. We were a group of 6, then chosing a different hotel was not an option. I explained the inconvinient, but I never received the refund.
