My problem with the scenario above is that I am the opposite of the poster. I need absolute SILENCE to be able to even think about getting rest. Thin walls in hotels make me totally crazy. And, the general populus listens to their TVs at volume levels that are ridiculous. Amazing that it pleased this poster, but would've ruined my stay there.
Go figure.
