While I did not think we were being particularly loud, we agreed to stop and this seemed to be a non-issue. Today I received a copy of my bill and I was charged $566.90 for a "housekeeping deep clean smoking fee per security". To me this fee seems outrageous, even if we were smoking in the room which we were not. Is there any recourse I might have?
Good!
I would be outraged if I rented the room after you and would demand to be moved to another room. The hotels know this and to try to address they assess the smoking cleaning fees.
What smokers fail to understand is that for many nonsmokers, we can instantly tell the previous occupant was a smoker. It permeates your clothes, your suitcase, it wafts in under the door, it is in the wall coverings, the bed .... just gag me!
Good for them. I have too often been trying to enjoy the balcony when smoke wafts from another balcony. Your right to smoke doesn't supersede our right to be free of your cancer causing (second hand) habit and obnoxious smelly habit.
