I am super super super sensitive to smoke (migraines, nausea) and this one highly depends on the hotel. Some of them do a very good job with deodorizing it -- the room has sort of this stale-air-freshener kinda scent, but the smoke smell is pretty much gone. Other hotels figure that if people know it's a smoking room than they won't mind the heavy pall of cigarette smoke that wallops you once you open the door.
I guess I'd ask the hotel what they do to deodorize the room in between uses. The only rooms I've ever been able to stay in were the ones that they ozoned, and once I checked in I always asked them to come up and ozone it again. It's very unlikely that Oust/Febreze will help. If they don't do a good job of keeping the rooms deodorized, you're fighting years of smoke accumulation.
Can you reschedule for another weekend? I can't imagine a vacation would be much fun if one of the participants was miserable.
