Smoke odor in a non smoking room.

My room was non smoking but it had a distinct smoke odor. It looks like the hotel tried to eradicate with a lot of disinfectant and air circulation. So the odor want their fault. I hope they charged the culprit big time. Since I was only there for the night and leaving early in the morning, I decided to let it go and just stay there. The hotel did try to eradicate the problem from a previous guest, so I won't fault the hotel. Buy they should try to make sure the room is fully smoke odor free for the next guest.

Room was ok, bathroom was old and needs updating, mold around bathtub. This motel is right next to the freeway, so expect noise. Gal at checkin could use some people skills, instead of lack of interest in customer/job! Bed was comfortable, but with that being said. Will not be returning.

I didn’t like that the police were called to some kind of disturbance, while I was staying there. I was there 4 nights. I didn’t feel safe, as I was traveling alone. I also thought the lady that checked me in was rude. And not friendly. I did like that my room was fairly clean, and I like that pets accepted
