Hidden Fees and an erroneous smoking accusation
My fiance and I traveled to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for a night in late January. We found, what we thought, was a great deal through Groupon for a nights stay at the Brookshire Suites. 
Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly greated by the Valet Parking and the front desk. As we were checking in, the front desk advised us there is no smoking in the hotel and we signed a waiver stating that if we smoke in the hotel, we will be charged $250. This was not an issue at all because both my fiance and I despise smoking. I guess you could consider us extremely health conscious. Our room was fine. No major issues or complaints. The area around the hotel is great. There are plenty of dining and nightlife options to choose from. 
After enjoying our night in Baltimore, we checked out the next morning. The staff advised there were no issues and we were on our way home. The next day, we checked our bank statements and realized, not only were we charged for a nights stay. We were also charged a $15 hidden tax fee as well as a $250 smoking fee! What!? Me smoke!? Of course, I realize the hotel is not aware of my personal life and my approach to health and fitness so I feel an explanation from the hotel is required.
I recall exiting the elevator to our floor after our initial check in and I stated out loud "Wow, for a hotel that doesn't allow smoking, It sure smells like cigarette smoke." My fiance and I laughed, thinking nothing more than someone else must have gotten a way with a smoke. Little did we know the affect this would have on us in the very near future.
Of course the moment we realized the charge on the credit card, we assumed a mistake had been made and called the hotel to discuss. After numerous attempts to contact the manager, as well as numerous promises that the manager would call us back, we finally got in touch with the manager and attempted to explain the mistake.
Instead of listening to an explanation of our personal life choices, or the already present smell of smoke upon our arrival, or inquiring into the origin of the smell, management stated that because my fiance and I were the only two people on the floor at the time, we must have smoked in the room. Again....What!?
Numerous attempts to discuss this professionally failed as the manager eventually stated that he was not removing the charge and hung up on us. Yes....hung up on us.
Needless to say, I'm writing this review in hopes this type of corrupt, false charge does not happen to anyone else. I am currently working with my bank to straighten out this erroneous charge.
If you decide to stay at the Brookshire Suites, make sure you report the smell of smoke to the front desk or you could find yourself with a hefty $250 charge and a manager unwilling to listen to reason and logic.
