Yes, I do. But I rarely visit big cities.

There are some in Las Vegas with a little metal strip that allows you to slide it open. It offers some minimal airflow and noise from the outside. It's not the same as "opening a window" but does allow fresh air into the room.

That's actually all I'm looking for. I stay in a given hotel for about 3 months, so I can't take the 'being trapped' thing. If it were just a night or two, oh well.

If you're staying that long for any one time, then your long-term locations are probably your best options.

You mentioned residence inns. There would also be Staybridge (IHG) and Homewood (Hilton). They seem more likely to allow windows to be opened.

Or, have you considered serviced apartments?

Easier to determine the outside temperature by opening the window.

As for apartments, I was given unserviced apartments where the mattress, judging by its odour, had been carted out of a dumpster. No thanks. :(

I will check out the two chains you mention - never been in either. I've looked at Homewoods but never tried it.

I travel to Chicago often and am always on the lookout for open windows-The Dana downtown has some rooms with balconies as does the new Radisson. The Drake and Palmer House have some windows that open or you can ask to be unlatched. In Oak Brook the Doubletree has has balconies as do some rooms at the Hyatt Lodge which is in the forest preserve at McDonalds Campus. If being locked in bothers you Embassy Suites are an option. Some of the rooms at the Hyatt in Rosemont have balconies. Don't try to smoke on the balconies in Hawaii!

please open windows!
 

Hello, I really prefer and need to be able to open a window at hotel/motels. Claustrophobia is no fun! I never had a problem with travel until hotels began building with windows that don't open.

This is a bit of an old thread, but I’ve noticed that most extended stay hotels have windows that open and thought I would share. The flip side is that some folks that smoke take this as carte blanche to smoke indoors. It’s less of a problem at a Residence Inn, but Extended Stay Americas tend to be bad with smoke.

Discovered this when a co-worker from out of town was booked into an ESA on a visit to my town. The place was like an ashtray with a check-in desk.
