The room I was assigned upon check-in was meant to be non-smoking but there was a very strong odor of smoke. The staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and kind and moved me immediately to a better room. I was very impressed with their professionalism and willingness to help so quickly. They were all incredibly kind.
