Yes, I eventually got the special rate (or trust me, I would not have booked).
But when I first called and said 'Gabe's' party the lady didn't know what the heck I was talking about; had never heard of anyone named Gabe.
I got a little help from Cardi & tried again...eventually, all was well with the world.
As for the smoking law...it's possible the management of this hotel and others were aware of legislation being put through, but there was no specific date it would go into effect until just recently.
And if they DID know full well that a law would take effect beginning July 1st, they may have made the decision to go ahead and book smoking rooms anyway, so as not to drive away customers...figuring that they would lose some bookings but not all. And the cancellations would be easily filled by non-smokers or those on standby.
In that case it would've been a business decision.
Not personal Sonny...strictly business.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
