  I recently stayed at this horrible hotel and opted to stay in the non smoking section of the hotel. Upon arrival to our room the entire hallway and room REAKED of marijuana. It was annoying (because my friends and I dont smoke) but it was fine. When leaving I learned that I had received a near $600 smoking fee. They claimed that there smoke detector detected a change in air quality at 6:55pm on Sunday the 22nd which is impossible because I do not smoke. They have completely fabricated this report. Could a hot shower, hair dryer, baby powder or anything of the like not trigger this Smoke Detector? From what I have read MULTIPLE people have made this same complaint about the Strat. I will be contacting my bank and fighting this with every ounce of my being. This is so extremely shady. Very bad business. My last remark is this. If the ENTIRE floor smelled like Marijuana then how on earth would that not effect our smoke detector?

  Stayed here Thursday the 28- sat the 30 and got charged a smoking fee. We were not In The room except to sleep. We do not smoke. The room smelled and was dirty when we got there. I use a humidifier since its so dry here. Showered with steam, straitened my hair with heat protection which smokes. 700 charge for not smoking? What a load of s*** I see hundreds of other people with the same complaint. This has got to be illegal. We had to leave a message for the accounting department, not super confident in the resolve. We were never notified of any issues during our stay. I have stayed here couple dozen times and have NEVER gotten this made up charge. This needs to be corrected or I will pursue legal action. This is fraud and theft.

  Im writing to formally dispute a smoking fee that was charged to my account following a recent stay at Strat [04-20-2025] to [04-21-2025] (Booking Confirmation Code:************).I was assessed a [$357] fee for alleged smoking in the room. While I understand that the hotel may rely on advanced detection systems, I want to make it absolutely clear that no one in my room smoked anything during the entirety of the stay. This includes cigarettes, marijuana, vapes, incense, or any other smoke-producing substances.Ive been informed that your team considers the detection data to be sufficient proof of smoking. However, I strongly challenge the accuracy and interpretation of that data. Technologyeven advancedcan be prone to false positives, environmental triggers, or calibration errors. I was not shown any visual evidence, staff observations, or supporting documentation beyond a blanket reference to your detection equipment. That is not enough to justify a serious charge like this.I am requesting an immediate review of this case and a full reversal of the fee. I expect transparent communication and documentation if you intend to uphold the charge, and I reserve the right to escalate this matter furtherboth through the Better Business Bureau and my credit card providerif this is not resolved fairly.Please confirm receipt of this message. I look forward to a swift resolution that satisfies all parties involved.Sincerely,[****** *******][*************************]*************]Booking Confirmation Code: [************]

  I am writing to formally address a distressing experience I had at your hotel that I believe requires serious attention. My recent stay was marked by several significant issues, particularly with a manager I encountered, whom I believe identified herself as ********.Upon my arrival, I was assigned to a room (******) that was clearly unfit for occupancy. The room had a strong, unpleasant smell reminiscent of sewage, and the sink was persistently clogged. I promptly reported the issue, after which maintenance was dispatched to pour a solution down the drain; however, this did not resolve the problem.The next morning, I requested a change of rooms and explained that I would need to move later in the afternoon due to my work commitments at the ***********************. When I returned that afternoon, I was assigned to room 20-014.Unfortunately, this room was also inadequate, as the floor was excessively noisy.When I returned to the front desk to express my dissatisfaction, the staff member was unhelpful, prompting me to request to speak with a manager. The manager I encountered was unprofessional and exhibited rudeness rather than hospitality. She insisted that I call security, despite my previous attempts to do so having no effect. When I asked if she could accompany me to security, she stated that she could not leave the front desk. This seemed disingenuous since she had several other staff members present who were available to assist. Additionally, when I requested her name, she hesitated to provide it, leading me to take a picture of her for my records. She stated she would call security, but inaccurately portrayed my demeanor as irate, which was not the case. My concerns and frustrations stemmed from the ongoing issues and the disrespectful manner in which I was treated, which I felt was influenced by the color of my skin. It is unacceptable for a manager to treat any guest in such a manner.I believe it is essential for your corporate office to address this.

  The Strat owes my husband and I $300. They took the money as a pending transaction as a security deposit in case we destroyed the room or something. We didnt destroy the room and said they were releasing the funds. This was on May 3rd. Ive tried talking to my bank ********** and they are no help. They say the charge was dropped all together, as in the Strat never took the money. In was on the account as a pending -300 then on the 3rd it was +300. After that, things were fine and the next day, our account went short $300 again with no transaction posted. The Strat and ***** will no help. We are at a loss and down $300. We just wanted a fun trip for our 10 year anniversary, it was completely ruined because of this. Please help!

  I am rejecting this response because:
  Hello, yes the funds were released on the 3rd. Again, the deposit of $300 was taken AGAIN on the 5th through the backend of our account. It came directly out of our account and not from our card. My bank even saw the transaction from the backend and before they could reverse it, the charge disappeared. The other amounts given back were due to the first room we received. There was urine all over the bathroom, broken A/C, broken fridge and s**** on the bed. This was for our ten year anniversary and yall have ruined it. Now we are out $300 because you all are not wanting to help.

  On 05/9-5/11 I stayed at the STRAT hotel for 2 nights. It was 75$ deposit for each day & 56$ per day. I paid a total of 262$ when I arrived. The next morning I went out to eat when all of a sudden I start receiving these transactions of 190$, 396$, 75$ 56$ all to my credit card. I went back to the hotel and asked them why I was being charged and they said it was a smoking fee, I NEVER had any smoke or smell in my room, it was right after the *** came and cleaned. I told them they can look all over the room, then they tried ti tell me it was becuase a hair straightener. The smoking fee is considered for tabaco and marijuana. I had neither of those!!

  During our check out from the Strat on 04/11/25, we discovered that a $396.83 smoking fee had been added to our bill. Neither of us smokes or vapes. We discussed this with front desk staff, then we spoke with a manager. That manager pulled out a report from our room that showed smoke was detected one morning. We asked the manager to go visit the room, to prove no evidence of smoking, but she refused. We opened a dispute with them and were told there the investigation would be complete in 48 hours. We assumed that the room itself would actually be checked.On our trip to the airport, my husband remembered that one morning, while I was fixing my hair that the room was foggy (full of steam). I had been using a L'Ange Le Volume brush dryer from home and a heat protectant oil. This hair tool gets very hot, and since the wet hair is against a metal shaft, it produces a lot of steam. In combination with the hair oil, I'm sure there was a vapor produced that could have been detected as "smoke".On 04/13/25, when we called to follow up on the investigation, we were told the room had NOT been checked. They relied on the results of that initial report, along with key card usage and hallway cameras showing that we were in the room. They said the report will stand, since we were in the room. We were in the room, but it was NOT smoke from a cigarette, vape or any other kind of inhalant or smoking device that was detected. As stated previously, neither my husband nor I smoke, nor have we ever. This trip was actually a celebration trip, from my husband having finished chemo for stage 3C colon cancer. There is no way either of us would endanger his remission by smoking. I was told to email the manager, and I provided all of the above information. I have received ZERO response from the hotel as of today, 04/21/25. A nearly $400 charge which is unable to be disputed because of a clearly imperfect detection device is ridiculous.

  I checked in at The Strat for a business conference last month. Ill be returning to ********* frequently for work and had a positive experience with The Strat, finding it to be a good, affordable hotel that I could consistently rely on for future ******** I was ******* to catch my flight, I checked out over the phone and didnt think much about ituntil I noticed an outrageous charge on my credit card, which was not mentioned to me when I checked out. It included an upgrade fee for every night I stayed (which, to The Strat's credit, was eventually refunded), even though I had explicitly declined the upgrade when it was offered. Even more shocking was a $396.83 smoking fee, which they denied refunding.The issue is that I absolutely did not smoke in the room.When I disputed the charge, I was sent a reading from their room sensor that claimed a 100% probability of smoking at 1 a.m. Upon doing some research, I discovered that other guests have had similar experiences: wrongly accused and charged excessive smoking fees despite not having smoked in their rooms.I assume the sensor was either faulty or improperly calibrated, but what concerns me most is that there seems to have been no attempt to verify the reading. It would have been easy to determine it was inaccurate. If you are unlucky enough to be accused of smoking in the room, like many others have, you have no chance of appealing it. While the affordability of The Strat initially appealed to me, and I thought I had found my go-to spot for regular stays in *********, this bogus smoking chargeand the lack of accountability surrounding itmakes me unlikely to return in the future.

  I stayed at the Strat hotel on April 1-3 for a last minute getaway, choosing the hotel based on the advertised price on *********** of $12/night (I upgraded from the $4/night to get an elevated room). I expected to pay $130 total after resort fees and taxes and instead was charged $700!!!! I used the check out link as we left for the airport and assumed the charges would match and I would be refunded the deposit. Instead a charge of almost $500 is still pending and a charge for $700 posted to my credit card! I have been unable to receive a breakdown of the charges and there is no contact information that gets me anywhere to help. I made no charges to the room, I didnt eat anywhere at the hotel (everything was closed all the time including the amenities apparently covered by the resort fee but I chocked that up to typical Vegas fees for nothing) and I dont smoke so I can only conclude this hotel is a complete scam and I wish Id googled reviews before I booked. The room charges are more than everything we spent in ***** total and I dont even have a bill to upload because they didnt send me a receipt and none of the links work. I attached the Expedia receipt showing the amount to be collected at the property.

  I just checked my credit card statement and was refunded $200 of the $700 I was charged and have yet to receive a single receipt, email,  or itemized list of charges. Or any record of the refund and what that accounts for. And that still leaves over $500 I was charged for a stay that should have been $130.

  I stayed at the strat hotel from 03/26/2025 to 03/30/2025 and my deposit was not refunded for my stay. When I called the strat I was told it was because the smoke alarm went off in my hotel room. This was a fabricated lie in order to keep my deposit. I do not smoke at all and would never be stupid enough to smoke inside a hotel room and risk my deposit. I believe that this hotel made up this lie in an attempt to steal my deposit.
