Hyatt Charges Asthmatic Woman $250 For Smoking, Says It Has Secret Photos

"photographic evidence"?? Exactly --- EXACTLY--- what does that mean?? Are there pictures of ashtrays with cigarettes in them? Butts in the trash? Anything other than pictures of her with a cigarette in her mouth - in the room - are not sufficient (in my opinion). Which raises a sinister question--- are they video taping their guests in the room without their knowledge?? WOW! Talk about opening a can of worms....
