"I stayed one night in a non-smoking room. I am very sensitive to secondhand smoke and odors associated with. The room was indeed free from odors. The bed very comfortable. Was surprised it actually had an iron and ironing board, fridge with even a decent freezer and small microwave. Also a hair dryer, but no facial tissues. Had a TV for streaming and I couldn't get any programs. The men at the front desk were very courteous. I booked this at the last minute and had a good stay overall"
