Once checked in there were no instructions on how to get to my room. Luckily I figured it out for myself. Entire hotel smelled like marijuana. Pretty sure it was a non-smoking hotel but this was clearly disregarded. The main reason for booking this stay was that there was an onsite sauna. Unfortunately, it was out of order.
