Reeked of cigarette smell

I was given a room which was steeped in cigarette smell, horrible… and the room phone didn’t work either, when i tried to call front desk. Finally called from my phone and they gave me another room which was ok. But too much time wasted in the whole process.

The room was one of the smallest doubles I've ever stayed in, both beds shoved against the walls with a narrow aisle between them, very dated interior, bedframes falling apart. A lot of mdf furniture in poor condition.
