In an ideal World, Housekeeping would have a ton of time to attend to everything. Realistically, a clean room is the most important thing. The alarm clocks can be tricky, and let’s face it, most people don’t know how to operate them. So, just unplug it when you get in the room, or turn off the alarm and you’ll be good to go. I haven’t used one in years. My phone is sufficient. I’d be okay with them getting eliminated from hotel rooms in the near future.
