Yes, because, frankly, Grand California security are all a bunch of pervs.

innerSpaceman · 05-01-2007, 07:32 PM

Ah, then it's cameras, is it?

Alex · 05-01-2007, 07:33 PM

Yes, but only in the bathrooms.

So don't smoke there.

Anyone know how they manage that?

They just need to install the highly sensitive smoke detectors used in airplane toilets, then rig them to "Claire De Room Stinkbug Juice" smellitzers that douse the occupants thouroughly when smoke is detected.

That'd stop them.

Oh, and don't make toast on your Travel Iron, or else !

I've never had a problem finding a smoking room, if I want one. I just won't stay on property anymore, no big deal.

My question is, are they really going to do that thorough of a cleaning job on the smoking rooms they have now in order to bring them up to par with the non smoking rooms.
I was a maid in my youth and I can tell you they really can't get the smell out of a heavily smoked in room. If someone spills water on the carpet or curtains the smell will return.

My friend owns a bio-cleanup service, and their equipment is pretty heavy-duty. It completely eradicates a place of dead body odor and the like, so I imagine there is similar equipment for smoke removal.

I no longer smoke, but I will never agree with discriminating against smokers. If a business decides to not allow it (I mean, how hard is it to set aside a few rooms out of the thousands they have?) then that's their right, but they're telling a good chunk of their market they don't want them around.

If they're getting more complaints then they are getting requests for smoking rooms, then that's probably exactly what they want to tell that part of the market.

Like I said, it seems like any accusation of smoking in a room is shady. What if the room is cleaned, it's unreported that it smelled like smoke. Next guy comes along, stays a night or two and its reported that the room smells like smoke, and he gets assessed the charge.

It just seems like such a sketchy thing to reinforce, and there's little that will convince me that they can do so effectively, without cameras being put in the room.

My guess is it's supposed to act as a deterant. Like the high fines for the carpool lane. Although of course that's more clear cut if you're in the carpool lane by yourslef you're busted.

But just the fact that you could be liable may make a person think twice.
