).
now as to "quiet hotels", i would go with a twist of
GK1998's recommendation but instead of trying a different business t/a, have your business t/a do some research with the hotels as to if they have a "quiet policy". don't know if it will do any good, but it can't hurt.
Two weeks ago - Middle School bad + screaming baby in 2 seperate rooms at the same hotel on the same night!!! Didnt get to bed till after 3am!
Last night - Post wedding group party in the room. Loud talking and laughing. After I complained, the front desk came up and several people left the room and it was quiet till about 20 minutes later - when the "
screaming" kicked in! That lasted till about 3am, and then again this morning starting at 7am....................................... Needless to say, Im pretty f'ing tired, on 4hrs of sleep and I have alrady worked 20+ hrs this weekend and have another full day. And then have to be up at 5am tomorrow.
I did ask the front desk, and the people next door are checking out today....
