Secondhand Smoke Hotel
*the room reeked of cigarette smoke
*night attendant balked at my request for a paper invoice. Ask for an invoice; in the morning the attendant couldn’t find evidence that I paid a security deposit in cash. If I didn’t have an invoice I wouldn’t have gotten my money back.
*Photos are misleading. The room did look clean and nice but the interior bathroom door knob looked as if it were crushed by Magneto. I failed to take a photo unfortunately.
We endured the cigarette smell because we were exhausted driving nonstop for 24 hours.
JFYI Even if a room isn't actively being smoked in; it doesn't mean it is in a nonsmoking condition. There is this thing called a building envelope. If you have a structure and it shares walls, a roof, a foundation, the floor, etc. cigarette smoke permeates in all building components like drywall, wood, wall coverings, carpet etc. because these are all porous materials. Also there are always micro crevices were smoke can travel. Unless you have a separate building for smoking rooms, you will continue to have this problem.
