I don't think you can generalize by chain, you need to contact the property. Even if the window can open, some can only open a few inches if you are on a lower floor, and open all the way up on a higher floor.

I breath air, usually, and most of the air on the planet is outside the room. I need access to it.
Seriously, closed windows = prison. Can't stand it. I wish you could open the windows on airplanes...but it would be cold. In any other place closed windows are incompatible with life.

Agree with others who don't find this to be the case. Hotel AC often seems a bit musty, even at high end Hilton and Marriott properties I've stayed at. Being able to crack the windows is much more refreshing.
Downside is it's often really noisy outside the hotels I stay at.

San Diego is known for having a temperate climate year-round. Nearly all of the hotels here regardless of brand have windows that open, though usually just a couple of inches for safety reasons. It has more to do with location and individual requirements than it does brand.
