Our first room was not cleaned and smelled like a 5 day old ashtray. Our second room was clean but also smelled like cigarette smoke under some floral air freshener. These were both labled non smoking....but having been a smoker at one time, I can tell you that these rooms had been smoking rooms for quite some time. If the... more
