NYC hotel tries charging guest $500 for smoking in room but she wasn’t there at the time, now management are changing their story

A woman has taken to TikTok to warn people of a scam she claims hotel managers are currently trying on her to con her out of $500. Staff at the M Social Hotel in Times Square charged the extra money after claiming a smoke report indicated that someone had been smoking in her hotel room, the only problem is that neither the woman or her friend were in the room at the time.

“I really wish we weren’t making this video right now,” Rhay states at the beginning of the clip, “but unfortunately, I don’t know what else to do.” She goes on to explain that, after being out of their hotel room for the entire day, her and her friend returned to find a note telling them they would be charged an extra $500 for smoking in their room. Seems like they’re trying to rival Airbnb for ridiculous charges.
