I am younger than Cyril and therefore understand the non smoking scenario. I expect nobody told him he was in a non-smoking room. He probably has not stayed in a hotel in years and didn't understand the stupidity now.<BR/><BR/>I stay in a certain hotel a lot which is non smoking. It is only made better by the marvellous staff and the fact that I can crawl to and from the smoking bar 100 metres away (obviously not here)<BR/><BR/>I know the staff well as I met most of them when they were out on smoke breaks. They have even said that the smoking charge in that hotel ($200) is not justified and is only a money making exercise borne out of the hysteria surrounding smoking and obviously making the hotel chain a load of cash through jumping on the bandwagon. There have even been people who have put their $200 on the desk on the first day and asked for an ashtray....so it's all about health and safety then?<BR/><BR/>btw, have looked around previously on various forums on a particular hotel chain that I refuse to stay in anymore as they have gone totally non-smoking in n america and canada. I have read some horror stories about folks who have been outside for a cig but, due to either cigarette packets in the bin or smell of smoke in the room (from their clothes) they are charged the smoking fine. It is all down to how much of a do gooder the maid and/or housekeeper is. I am so pleased that my charge is decided depending on how much of a self righteous twit the first person cleaning the room is. I wonder if the hotels actually give a bonus for finding a smoker in the rooms....<BR/><BR/>I am ex forces and have a lot of respect for our veterans. However, regardless whether they are veterans or not, surely our older folks deserve some respect anyway. I still doubt they explained the no smoking rule to him and, if they did, so what. He has paid for a room, not for a rule ridden jail.<BR/><BR/>cuntsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969767902477233674noreply@blogger.com
