No thanks, I'll have to pass on that that type of accommodation. I'd rather brew a cuppa coffee or two in our room while puffing away comfortably in our nightclothes before resuming our ZZZZ's. Or any other time when we're relaxing in our room too.

LOL, I have had plenty of middle of the night smokes on hotel balconies in my jammies, sometimes just sitting inside the door with my cigarette hand outside and blowing smoke out the door! It's better than having to get dressed and go somewhere downstairs and outside, so it's a compromise in a nonsmoking hotel.
