Summary
A flight attendant, Monica Skylling, shared her experience on TikTok about being charged a $300 smoking fee by a hotel, despite not smoking or vaping in her room. The hotel claimed their “active smoke monitoring system” detected recreational smoking, but Skylling disputed the charge and eventually got a manager to waive it. Similar reports have surfaced in the past year, with some hotels allegedly using these fees as a “profit-maker”.
Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Hotels introduce “smoking fees” as a new revenue stream. Guests are charged hundreds of dollars for allegedly smoking in their rooms, even if they don’t smoke. The hotels claim their “advanced sensors” detect smoke, but the evidence is often questionable. It’s a new way for hotels to make money, and it’s leaving guests frustrated and suspicious.
One sentence summary: Hotels are now charging guests for smoking in their rooms, even if they don’t smoke, and it’s a scam.
