[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this story is fake. There is no hotel that has operable windows you aren’t allowed to open. If you’re not allowed to open them, they aren’t operable.

Can you imagine how much time a Residence Inn would spend asking people to close windows if there were operable windows that were just not supposed to be opened?

If it’s a fire escape, it would be alarmed. OP wouldn’t be able to just open them.

It’s also ridiculous to say that OP would have asked about opening the windows in the first place. You just try them. No one goes to the desk to ask if they can open a window. [/quote]

Not fake.  I thought most hotels don’t allow you to open the windows (and have measures in place to prevent it.)
So I didn’t even try to open it.

I asked the employee at the front desk for a fan to help air it out and she mentioned that they open.  So I went back to my room and looked—and she was right!  So I opened them.   Then, like I said, there was a shift change and suddenly a guy I hadn’t seen before was at my door telling me I had to close them.  He and his co worker (not the same one who told me the windows open) were the ones I felt with after that.  [/quote]

This can’t be true. I’ve never been to a hotel that didn’t allow you to open windows. I’ve been to hotels with windows that don’t open. But there is no way a hotel has windows that open but you’re not supposed to open them. Maybe in a different country, with different building codes. But not a Residence Inn in America. No way.
