A non-smoking room is a promise to every guest

Every guest who books a non-smoking room expects to walk into clean air. When they’re hit with the smell of smoke at the door instead, their stay is off to the worst possible start. Now your team is working to recover from a bad first impression, and the room is losing revenue until it’s back in service.

Today

Smoke is found by the cleaners or when the next guest arrives.

A flat fee, based on a nose test, and the guest is likely to dispute it.

Rooms sit out of service for cleaning.

Noise from next door keeps a guest awake and ends up in a review.

With Minut Hotels

Smoke-free rooms for every guest, with real-time alerts to the front desk.

Fair charges, every time. Every incident is timestamped and tied to a room.

More rooms available. Fewer rooms out of service means you lose less revenue to additional cleaning.

A good night’s sleep. Alerts for sustained noise let staff step in before the guest next door loses sleep.

How Minut Hotels works

Start with a pilot

We agree success criteria with your team, such as incidents detected, fees upheld and room nights saved, then install on one floor.

A sensor in every room

The E1 works hardwired, via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or plugged into an outlet, so each building can use what suits it.

Its own network

The G1 gateway connects the building over its own cellular connection, and works through concrete and steel.

Alerts to the right team

Alerts for smoke, sustained noise and device tampering go to the front desk and housekeeping, with incident history per room and per hotel.

Linked to the stay

PMS integration ties each incident to the right room and reservation, so any fee goes to the right guest’s bill.

SMOKE ID

87% of smoking events detected, more than twice the closest competitor

SmokeID gives your team alerts they can trust. It recognizes cigarette and cannabis smoke and ignores common false triggers like hairdryers, so staff respond to genuine incidents and fewer guests are charged by mistake.

Privacy built into every room

No cameras or recordings

Minut never captures images or records audio. Noise is measured as sound levels only, so staff know a room is loud without hearing a word.

Raw data stays on the sensor

Minut splits processing between the sensor and the cloud, so raw sound and air data never leaves the device. Only smoke events and noise levels reach your team.

Purpose-built for Hotels

The G1 provides a dedicated network for the sensor, so there’s no dependency on the hotel’s WiFi.

A clear record of every incident

Each incident is saved to a timestamped incident log in the Minut app, so you can explain a charge to the guest with facts.

A 150-room hotel with a non-smoking policy

An independent hotel with 150 rooms has a non-smoking policy in every room. The team wanted to uphold that policy without relying on housekeeping to smell smoke during the turnover clean, or the next guest noticing at check-in.

With Minut Hotels, the front desk knows as soon as smoke is detected. SmokeID recognizes cigarette and cannabis smoke and ignores common false triggers like hairdryers, so staff can handle it while the guest is still in the room, and charge fairly when a fee is due.

“Previously, we had no way to know if a room had been smoked in until someone smelled it later. Now we get real-time notifications so we can uphold our smoke-free commitment for every guest, and we don’t lose revenue to rooms being out of service while they’re deep cleaned.”
