HI Gillian, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, I am really sorry you found some of the hallways had a Smoke Odour. The Hotel has a Smoke Free Policy for all of the rooms so this should not have occurred. We do our best to monitor compliance but unfortunately not everyone is respectful of the policy. We appreciate you letting us know. Regards Jo
