Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

cigarette scentsmall bed
I noticed a distinct cigarette smell in the bathroom upon arrival. I suspect it lingered in the floor mat. the room lacked proper soundproofing. New guests arrived late and were quite loud until early morning. The bed was also a bit too small for us. We are both quite tall.
