If you are allergic to smoke, avoid this hotel. I spent three nights here and had to wear a respirator any time I was in my room. Smoke fills the hall and also comes through the bathroom vent. I could hardly tolerate being in the bathroom. I had to leave my window open all day long to air it out.
I walked through the entire building before talking to the gentleman at the front desk in hopes to find a less smoky area. Both hallways, up stairs and down, were smoky. From what I saw, there appeared to be one smoking room and that room was at the opposite end of the hotel from my room.
The man at the front desk was very kind and willing to move me, but from my walk-through, I couldn't imagine where he could have placed me to get it less smoky - and I didn't want to move any closer to that smoking room. He admitted that this hotel is smoky all the time because guests don't honor the no-smoking policy and the state of Oregon won't back him by assessing the $500 fine. He told me there was nothing he could do to resolve the smoke problem.
The morning I checked out, I noticed a hole that had been burned through the bedspread that was about the size of a cigarette. It confirmed that guests are smoking in non-smoking rooms. At that point, I was so glad I was leaving.
I won't stay here again. I will be writing letters to the Travelodge Corporation, Wyndham Corporation and the necessary state representatives to file a complaint.

Thank you very much for taking up the matter with Wyndham. Hope they will take up the matter the the Oregon State. Oregon state Passed a law that smoking within 10 feet of the exits. The law is witout any teeth. we had a problem with one of our customer smoking in a non smoking room. We sent a request to prosecute the guest with all relevent proof, with pictures, the address of the guest. The state wrote back that they can not do anything, and we have to take the necessary safty. Passing a law without authority ??
