The hotel used quite a bit of perfumed deodorizers throughout the facility. this was strong. i also noticed that some of the front counter staff seemed to give preferential treatment to guests who are caucasian foreigners. when i arrived at check-in, the staff did the usual check-in, but guests after me (who were caucasian) received a welcome drink. I had to ask for it later.
