Cigarette smell
Cons:

There was a terrible smell in our room of cigarettes like the people before had smoked in there. It was a non smoking room but nevertheless it was bad. The smell lingered throughout the stay and we found it got on our clothes and luggage. We immediately asked to move room but was told the hotel was full and they sent someone to spray an air freshener!!
