"As a person with scent allergies I was very happy to discover no strong scents at all, not even the sheets and pillowcases were strong smelling with gross fabric softeners. The lack of carpet is always helpful too. The sinks and showers were very nice with anti fog. The place was super clean and didn't need strong scents to mask anything. Very happy to tell all my scent sensitive friends!"
