Great breakfast and friendly staff, a few problems

We frequently visit this hotel to visit my family in town. The breakfast is great, however, we will likely be choosing different accommodations in the future. Our hallway smelled of marijuana most of the time, and there were multiple times that our bathroom also had a very strong scent (it seemed that someone below us was smoking in their bathroom and it traveled up to our room though the vents). I did complain after the second time this happened (we were traveling with an infant), and they were able to clean the room below us very quickly. Also, we were granted a late checkout of noon, but then the front desk called our room around 11:35 and asked multiple times when we were leaving. It was frustrating to feel like we were being pushed out of there after being granted a late checkout. Ultimately I will look for other accommodations in Keene next time we visit.
