One last remark on this topic - I think most may know that Marriott hotels (from the top of the line down to Courtyards by..) are now non-smoking.
Technically, I guess this is not 100% true. You can't reserve a smoking room, but you can smoke in the non-smoking rooms -- but they charge you a $250 room cleaning fee.
So I guess you really can smoke, but it just costs a little extra (in more ways than one, but this time we're talking real money).
Wonder if anyone has challenged that one in court??
Or threatened to do so successfully?
It would be hard to prove that the customer did the smoking, and not one of the housekeeping staff, if there were "telltale signs" left behind, or even outright proof of smoking -- how do you prove WHO did the smoking without testing the DNA on some butts (I'm talking cigarette butts here, just in case...)
