That's a good point. I have noticed this recently. Thanks for the tip about Wyndham too - thinking back, I've found smoking rooms in quite a few Days Inns.
I don't actually mind non-smoking rooms if they are motel-style, i.e. with an outside entrance door I can just step out of (or a balcony of course). Tgat's a lot of the reason I lije places like Econo Lodge or Days Inn.
