What to do if your Egypt hotel room smells like construction/renovation and the hotel refuses to switch rooms?

TL;DR
Rooms near ongoing construction can smell strongly of dust and building materials; ask for a room in the wing farthest from the construction site (e.g. the left building near the sea), but the hotel may refuse to relocate you, citing no available rooms.
What the community said
One guest was refused a room change away from the construction area today — staff said no rooms were available and only offered a room without a balcony or a single-bed room in the same wing.

A guest asked if others also had construction smell in their rooms, trying to figure out whether requesting a room change was even worth it.
