I arrived in Barcelona very early in the morning. The hotel staff stored my luggage in a safe, locked location while I toured the city. Later when it was time to check in, the first room they put me in smelled of smoke. When I told them, they immediately relocated me to a different room that did not have any smoky odors. The staff was always pleasant and helpful for my entire stay.
