£500 is excessive. And fighting guests over your scummy practice. Not on.
Hope a regulator steps in and looks at this but not hopeful.
I think you completely missed the point of the investigation - it's not about the hotel's charges, it's about an ai-powered smoke "detection" system that the creators are advertising as inherently increasing revenue, suggesting a scheme between the hotel and company making the detectors to defraud the hotel's customers.
