What happened to a LIVE AND LET LIVE attitude? So many nicotine nazis have gotten their way and it is just wrong to dictate to people what personal habits are considered acceptable and which are not. We are adults people! Offer both types of rooms and let your guests choose the type in which they are most comfortable. The PC population cries that we need more tolerance, and yet they are the first to squelch any public displays of Christianity, but they'll go out and buy a Ramadan stamp. HUH??? Why the anti-smoking zealots cannot practice a little tolerance is irony at its worst. Prohibition didn't work in the 30's and it won't work today.

It is probably safe to say that there is no consensus among Hilton branded properties regarding this topic. We have been following this trend for 25 years when Holiday Inns mandated that 10% of the rooms be NON SMOKING. It is probably quite safe to say that it is most likely that additional chains will become 100% non smoking in the near future. We would encourage prospective guests to vote with their reservations. Stay at a 100% non smoking hotel and leave a comment card for the General Manager applauding their decision.

I come across new ones converting to non-smoking virtually every week. The way the trend is going I figure it is only a matter of time before the hotel by hotel choice of allowing or disallowing smoking will be replaced by the chain going smokefree.
