A little disappointed

We went to get in our room and the inside latch was engaged so we needed to have maintenance called to open the door. Then when we came back from exploring our room had a strong odor of marijuana. I realize that isn’t the hotels fault exactly but it was very unpleasant experience. The beds and room in general were comfortable. The location was good. Also in the description it said the stay came with a bottle of wine which we did not receive.
