Arrived and reported a foul odor in my room and bathroom of cigarette smoke. The response was “I’m sorry sweetheart” I explained we were on a tight schedule and my husband was showering and we would be leaving shortly and requested they attempt to address it when we left. We returned after 6 hours to the exact same issue.
