Also on a flight, everyone is there for the same duration. Hotels people come and go on different days, making the scheduling even more difficult.
tev9999,
You are a wise and observant traveller. I was ignoring all the other room features and scheduling conflicts Still, It would be nice to see "quiet" listed on preference selections in a frequent guest profile. I already have a selection of bed type, smoking preference and elevator proximity. Of course, who would select "noisy" as a preference? If only I could select it for some people!
And yes, some chains are more notiously thin walled (Hampton Inn) and I avoid them when I can.
