Yes the staff is nice and no there are not any smoker issues (smell,etc.) first impression of the rooms was fairly nice and made you think you got a lot for a little. HOWEVER! If you don't like living in other people's filth then I would not suggest staying here. To make the long list short, there were stains galore, the remote might give you a disease, not sure the bathroom would make you dirtier or cleaner, the kitchen will make you want to eat out at McDonalds, linens were sketchy, and I can keep going but I'll save you the read. I cleaned the surfaces I was going to touch with baby wipes (not meant for your typical cleaning) of which turned black with next to no effort. I spent the last two nights in the middle of the forest in a tent and all I wanted was a nice clean relaxing place to take a shower and stay for my last night! I wish I never left my tent!
