Telephone ringers on high and alarm clocks set are two of my pet peeves with hotel rooms. I think housekeeping should be checking the phones and turning off any alarms! What the previous guest needed usually is nowhere near what I want.

Yes, TS sales people are aggressive, but then since they are on a commission/quota you gotta expect that. You can delay some of the annoyances by scheduling a session for the end of your trip and then cancel later. Sometimes you can turn them off by telling them you make less than $20K and they will hang up the phone quicker than you can! NEXT!!!
