Finding Quiet Hotel Rooms

Want to guess the biggest complaint filed by hotel guests? It’s the noise. And now a number of hotel rooms are doing something about it.

A company called AmericInn, with more than 200 locations, has built hotels with soundproofed rooms.

In addition, a number of hotels offer “quiet-room” floors, but you should find out what that actually means.

Crowne Plaza Hotels, for example, has quiet zones, but that just means that there is no cleaning or maintenance between 9 p.m. and 10 a.m., and it’s only available between Sunday and Thursday.

When checking into a hotel, ask two questions: how close is my room to the construction, and is my room located anywhere near the ballroom?

Why? It’s not the parties; it’s that at 2 a.m., the cleaning crews will be removing garbage from the party the night before.
