The hotel itself is fine - it's what you'd expect for the brand and the price point. The problem was that a prior guest had smoked excessively in my room, and the hotel's response was to bathe the room in air freshener, so the room REEKED of cigarettes and a horrible chemical smell throughout my entire stay. The air was so thick with that rank smell, it was like hitting a wall when I opened the door, and the windows don't open, so I couldn't air it out. The staff would neither give me another room (they claimed they were fully booked) nor let me cancel the rest of my reservation, so I was stuck there for four days. It literally made me sick. I was blowing out black snot all week and everything I brought with me - including not just my clothes but also my luggage, my jacket, etc., reeks of cigarettes and air freshener and will have to be washed/dry cleaned. Here's my problem – you can’t get rid of smoke by pouring chemical fragrance over it; you actually have to get rid of the smoke. The room should have been aired out and the carpets, curtains, bedspread, pillows, etc., WASHED. They should never have rented that room until the problem was resolved, and certainly they should have let me out of my reservation if they couldn’t move me. It’s bad policy.
