Upon arrival at the front desk, the clerk was occupied looking at her cell phone. I was standing directly in front of her for 4 or 5 minutes. I stood there holding my hanging clothes and she never uttered a word to acknowledge my presence. I was pre-registered and I was given a room that smelled like a dirty ashtray. I went back to the clerk and asked for a non-smoking room. She said I requested a smoking room on my pre-registration. I may have accidently omitted or checked a wrong box when I booked on-line, but I certainly didn't want a smoking room. She said "that is what happens when you book on-line." It became cool in the evening and I turned the thermostat to heat. When the heater came on, it started to smoke and smelled like plastic burning. It made the smoke detector to start chirruping. I turned the heat off and let the fan clear the air. It was cold in that room during the night, but I wasn't risking causing another smoke alarm to be activated. The next morning about 5:00 a.m. I mentioned to another desk clerk about the heater and his reply was "it does that every winter when they are turned to heat."
