This is our favorite hotel in Vancouver. I don't remember noticing any scent in the public areas.
And we carry our own toiletries, so we'd never notice any fragrances in those, quite deliberately.
(We save assorted last bits of hand soap, and bring them along in a ziplock... smallest for overnight or even one-use, and slightly larger for a slightly longer stay. For a long stay in one place, we just bring along new bars of soap. And of course, we have small bottles of our regular shampoo/etc.)
"Air fresheners" are just more "junk" (aka pollution) in the air, as far as we are concerned.
