WDW Resorts say Bye-bye to Smoking!

Do they have a plan in place to charge those who do smoke in the rooms, even if it's "not permitted"?

I can't tell you how many times (pretty much almost every time) I've booked a non-smoking room (and I'm not talking Vegas here) that's smelled like someone had smoked in it. How do they actually plan to stop it. Humans are notorious for "not caring" when an addiction is at stake.

they tend to care when their pockey book is at stake. Guests who smoke in a designated non-smoking room (all rooms Resort-wide) will be liable for the cost of cleaning draperies, carpeting, furniture and linens PLUS the daily rack (not a discount) rate per night for the length of time the room cannot be sold.

So far, the industry experience (from what I hear; maybe Disney is doing so at DL) is that very few hotels follow through on charging the rates (as said you get into that proof thing and when a credit card payment is stopped it is the whole thing not just the added charge).

I don't care if my rooms smells of smoke. So I'm staying one night and leave the next day. It'll probably smell of smoke just about as much. I didn't complain. The person after me does. Who do they charge?

And if I'm ever a maid in such an establishment I'm going to light up in every poorly tipping room.

If the hotel does charge the $500 I wonder if they actually perform the "deep cleaining" that supposedly warrants the money?
