Totally a sinus infection headache.
Check is was easy . Clerk was friendly. Beds looked new. The room Stunck of mold and mildew. Carpet by bathroom snows mold and age. Carpet really needs replacing. Woke up with a nauseous sinus headache. Still feeling sick hours later. If your planning to stay here ask the to air the room out in advance.
