Smoking room posing as a non-smoking room = Disappointing experience.

I wanted to enjoy this hotel. Especially given the history of being the hotel that JFK stayed in the night before his assassination. Unfortunately the hotel has a dated feel to it once you move into the floors with the rooms and a strong chemical cleaning agent smell in the hallways. I was hoping that this smell would only be present in the hallways, but upon entering the room, the chemical fumes were overwhelming and then beneath that was a strong cigarette smoke smell. I went back down to the front desk and asked to switch rooms, but they claimed that they had no other rooms. They did admit that the room was a former smoking room converted to non-smoking. But clearly cigarette smoke isn't easy to get out. So in the end I suffered through a night in the room and woke up the next morning with a scratchy throat. I won't be back here again if I can help it.
