as someone who is allergic to smoke, i would request a room change if
i found out i had a smoking room, even if it didn't smell and i knew
for a fact that it had never been smoked in. i expect that the air
circulation is much more likely to bring smoke into my room from the
hallway or other rooms if i'm on a smoking floor than if i'm on a
nonsmoking floor. i've had this problem before.
maybe this isn't actually the case - i am hardly an expert on air
circulation systems in large hotels - but it doesn't seem like an
irrational concern.
cheers,
