Marriott will accommodate smokers just the same way as they do non-smokers. They will not deny a smoker a room just because he is a smoker. They expect smokers and non-smokers alike not to smoke.
That seems like nothing more than equal treatment to me.
Yes, and both will be fined $200 if they are caught smoking in a non-smoking room. (At least in the last few stays I've had at Marriott's, that was the posted policy on the inside of the room door.
That's fine, but not for me.
If I can't watch TV in my room, order food in and smoke, then I won't be spending $65 and up for the damn room.
I will go someplace with my wallet and spend my money in a motel/hotel that wants me.
