I'm saying this as an ex-smoker: Prove it.
My word as a customer in a "private" room where no one can see me against the hotels.
Unless there is obvious ashes on the desk, butts or something, just what are they going to do/say? You smoked in our non-smoking room. ... No I didn't.... yes you did... no I didn't. ???
I wonder if they just charged your card anyway if you could fight the bill with your credit card company as a charge back.
And certainly, after they went around and around with you, whether you actually smoked in the room or not, are you ever going to go back after they've accused you of lying?
And what happens if you really didn't smoke in the room and they charge you an extra $500 because they *think* you did?
