Hotel rooms - smoking + partying? -

1) If you rent a Hotel room - non-smoking and you end up smoking in it, do they charge you extra for the smell? 2) If you leave 4 cases of beer leftover in the Hotel room, will they charge extra for the trash???

As others have said smoking in a non-smoking hotel room will cost you.If you plan on having a party in the room let the hotel know. They can help you out with ice tubs for your beer and direct guests to your room. They can also provide extra trash baskets for trash and room clean up. Leaving beer in the room is not a problem, they will find some way to get rid of it [staff party, toss it, etc.]. It is a nice touch to leave a tip for housekeeping when you party in a room because it is going to take them longer to clean your room and thus the housekeeeper may actually lose money because he/she can t get as much work done. If you seriously trash the room they are within their rights to charge you a cleaning fee.Hotels rooms should be treated like you are in someone s home. Hotels don t want their rooms ruined just like you wouldn t want your home ruined. Remember to keep the noise to a tolerable level. If the hotel has to warn you about noise more than once or twice they are within their rights to ask you to leave if your noise level is bothering other guests.

It depends on the hotel policy. But if it is a non-smoking room and you smoke you will have to pay the cleaning bill to get the smoke out of your room it s usually around $250 a room to get the smoke out. If you leave trash or beer you should be fine. As long as the room is not destroyed ie(things broken).

Only about 13% of adults in California smoke. Hotel operators cater mostly to the other 87% of the population who don t their rooms fouled by smokers so you will really get slammed. A lot of hotels here are 100% smoke free. Hooray. The housekeeper will probably take your beer home and consider it a tip.

If you want to smoke, find a hotel that allows smoking and avoid the $250 fine. Partying is dumb. What you really need is one good woman to spend the evening with, not a bunch of fat, loud and obnoxious men who just want to yell and drink your beer for free (and then vomit on your carpet).
