Noise in Hotels

[Peoplesoft bloke]

Last week the wimmin in the room next door woke me up at 2am with their cackling - they were having some sort of a party. To be fair, they packed it in when asked.

This week so far the hotel seems to be hosting the world door-slamming championships and the eastern european team staying on my floor must be strong contenders.

I have ear plugs, but they tend to fall out and they aren't much use when the slamming shakes the whole building.

Anyone got any brill ideas (I think I know the answer to that) it's been a pretty quiet place up till now though and who's to say anwhere else would be any better?

I had an interview a few weeks ago for a contract. Booked into a reasonable hotel or so I thought. Get the room near to a generator, end up with little sleep and consequently fluff the interview because I was so tired. I should have sued them for loss of earnings

It could be worse - you could be in the same hotel as BrowneIssue

House share or rent a flat!

Where abouts are you?

Are you in the top floor at the back of the hotel at a room at the end of the building?

If a long stay customer, the staff may be obliging in not booking anyone in the room next to you.

Failing that, change hotels, or join in the parties!

What?? Blaming a hotel for failing YOUR interview?

Heard it all now.

Did you ask for a different room? Change hotel if that bad.

Blimey, cannot blame the hotel for that....

I get the same room every week, it's normally quite quiet - it's not really the hotel's fault they have inconsiderate scum for guests I suppose. I normally try to flat share or rent a flat but the costs here pretty much even out and I don't have all that faffing about with deposits, council tax etc.

Chain hotel or independant?

Travelodge do rooms for £29 per night, pre-pay 2 weeks in advance.....

Room with generator attached

it wasnt a travelodge near Dartford was it. I had that room, when they moved me down the corridor I found a blooming thong behind the door

Some hotels, e.g. Raddison SAS, offer a satisfaction guarantee. I've claimed on the one offered by Premier Travel Inn in the past - fire alarm malfunctioned and went off a few times in the night, so I just told them on checkout that I didn't get a good night's sleep and they refunded the £90 without batting an eyelid.

Get some really good class A drugs, a couple of hookers and a loud sound system and beat them at their own game, see who blinks first ... worst case you'll have a few sleepless nights but a whole lotta fun ;-)
