2/10 Terrible
"The room smelled like an ashtray. While it may be non-smoking now it obviously was a smoking room at some point and has not been fumigated. I arrived late and slept as little as I could and left as soon as I woke up. I had to put my bag and clothes in the bathroom to try to keep them from smelling like cigarette smoke."
