I was shocked because I had read good reviews about the hotel online.
The stale smoke smell was a bit overwhelming. I walked in and the 50 years' worth of people smoking in the room (it's not considered smoke-free) hit me like a brick wall. They put me on the first floor near the elevator. After driving 5 hours, I needed to change clothes and freshen-up a bit, so agreed. The person checking me in stated she had a room, and it would cost $15 extra to check-in early. When I arrived, I did ask for an early check-in. I was looking forward to a nice get-away for Thanksgiving 2022.
