InTown Suites

Smoking Away;





I have had cause to make a vocal complaint

against Intown suites in Austin Texas.

I have been greeted on a daily basis to a

cloud of smoke outside my door every

evening for two weeks so far from about

six in the evening to 11, but sometimes

till past one in the morning. I cannot

believe that people are encouraged to sit

outside all evening long and smoke and

smoke and smoke. The establishment is in

the shape of a T. At the intersection of

the T on the south side is a backup gener-

ator. The same group of people sit atop

this generator and smoke all evening. I have

called the corporate office 6 times so far

and have never received a message back from

them about it. The generator is right below

my door. They seem to disappear sometimes

when the courtesy officer walks around but

I am not sure if that person even confronts

them. They come right back.



Their brochure upon check-in indicates you

can be thrown out for loitering and smoking

in the wrong places. This Certainly Seems

To Qualify. Do they need a security camera

in the right place? Austin has a smoking

ordinance. No smoking within 15 feet of the

doors and windows to an establishment. No

Smoking Around Children. There are certainly

kids about. This should not be a third rate

dump. If you do not like smoke don't come

here. The Courtesy Officer Smokes and I

have seen on occasion a manager lighting up.



good luck...
