I've never been asked that in re a hotel room, although restaurants in the
U.S. (outside of California where there IS no smoking in public buildings)
frequently ask that question. I do remember one motel room here in the
U.S. which positively REEKED of stale cigarette smoke, but if the rooms
have been properly cleaned between tenants, I've seldom found a previous
guest's smoking habits a problem.

But what if the maid smoked?

Then tell the hotel you want a different room if you don't like the
smell of the one assigned.

RIght. Nothing.

Everything. Your issue is with the hotel management in giving you
compensation for not giving you the room you ordered in the first place.
Instead you are just punishing the people who follow you.

Pretty disgusting habit and I don't want to be sleeping somewhere where
someone has been smoking only a few hours before.

Not damaging anything.


You can go outside to smoke.

And you can go to hell.

You are. You make it smell offensive to many people- you conceded as
much when you suggested that one poster get another room if they didn't
like it. Why should they have to get another room when, if you'd simply
obeyed the hotel rules, there would have been no problem? If you were
unhappy at not getting the room you wanted, you should have pointed this
out and, if it bothered you that much, taken your business elsewhere.
What you did broke the hotel's rules however- and it was pretty selfish
behaviour on your part. Maybe if the hotel billed you for freshening up
the air in the room, you'd get the message.

Possibly the next guest is suffering from asthma and possibly he/she doesn't
detect the tobacco smoke until he/she have got an attack of asthma ?
And possibly there aren't any more no-smoking rooms available at that hotel
and others are fully booked. Try to imagine the problems for someone with
such problems or eventually allergy.
While your problems isn't of the same dimension. You can always walk out
and have a cig somewhere else where smoking is allowed.
I guess you've reason to blame the hotel if they've failed to provide you
the booked accommodation but that shouldn't be solved by damaging the
room.
Maybe ,if you insist , you could be entitled to a discount.
