Former Smoking Rooms???

You also have to worry about guests who can't follow the rules and smoke anyways.

We got a former smoking room at CSR in June. It was Cabanas. It was awful. I'm not a picky person and have never asked to change rooms in our previous stays and had a great time at all the resorts we've been at. But this was bad. The first thing DD7 said when we walked in the room was this place stinks, Mommy. I called the front desk and they sent someone up with something to make it smell better but after spraying and an hour later I knew I could not spend the week in that room so asked to be moved. The first CM hassled me. Said someone must have smoked against the rules and would not help me. I called a different CM. This one was great and said it used to be smoking and moved me to a different Cabanas building. The new room was lovely and we had a wonderful stay.

I will definitely make sure I find out ahead of time which rooms used to be smoking and will never stay it one.

It drives me mad when I check into a hotel and ask for non smoking - and they say 'all our rooms are non smoking' and I have to explain they might be now but that doesn't mean they're not going to set off my asthma if they weren't in the past.

More than once have I then appeared in reception at 3am wheezing and coughing at them asking to be moved there and then as they obviously didn't believe it would make a difference and stuck me in a 'fake' non smoking room - they don't always smell, trust me. Offering to sleep in reception tends to work if they aren't then sympathetic!!!

It's a total pain, but at least at Disney you won't get what happened to me in london recently. I had a lovely non smoking room in a hotel but had to move as smoke was coming up from the smoking floor below into my bathroom - cue 3am wheezing and the taste of smoke in my mouth for the next 12 hours.

I'm interested in seeing what the complaints will be a year from now.
" I had a room that smelled like baby poop and got sick"
" I had a room that smelled like a French cathouse and got sick"
" I had a room that smelled like BO and got sick"

The "smoking room" issue is solved. I don't think any of the issues brought up on this thread are over tho. IMHO
