I don't think you'll be able to request a room that "used to be non-smoking before". Second point, smokers can now smoke in smoking rooms, when the hotel goes non-smoking, hard core smokers will smoke in their room anyway making any room in the hotel a potential room that smells like smoke. Of course this is only my opinion and YMMV.

Dovster, no wonder the women flee from you. Don't you know that kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray?

Sorry, folks this is a non-smoking Lounge.
You will have to go down the hall and congregate over there at The Branniff Forum Lounge Thread Everybody is Welcome! thread...
...of course, I am just kidding. As the thread title says: Everybody is Welcome!

I'm going to try the CO lounge in concourse D ATL, however I do not have my DL PL card yet. Can I just show them my boarding pass with my platinum and show them my gold card, will that get me in?
