Other guests behaviour in hotels.

JustTheOne

So im currently lying in a bed in a hotel basically been awake all night with guests roaring outside whilst making their way back to their rooms.

Finally got asleep around 530, now the early morning breakfast crowd have started. Talking loud while walking by and the most annoying thing ever.

Letting their hotel room doors slam when they leave their room!

Wtf is wrong with people?

Am i the only one that actually thinks of other guests when I'm staying in hotels, like not been loud or slamming doors?

It's nearly in every hotel too I stay in, i hate people.

Try and avoid staying in hotels that have a wedding on the same day...

stampydmonkey

Always request top floor room away from stairwell and lifts...just pray the place doesnt burn down

I agree to an extent.

But I come across this in every hotel i stay in, i work away a lot and also holiday.i find it in all sorts of hotels whether weddings or not. surely im not alone.

Stick to the 'boutique' hotels to avoid the wedding/stag/hen inconsiderate feckers out enjoying themselves for the night and then up early with a hure of a dry throat needing immediate lashings of tae and frys

I now have kids running up and down the corridor screaming.

Parents probably too hungover too care.

Stay in a classier hotel with better guests.

Stayed in a hotel in San Diego once where there was a lot of slapping and "you want more baby" in a big booming murican accent next door - either they were shooting a porno or else had watched too much of it

Ear plugs op, annoying at first but you get used to them and they block out a lot of the background stuff.

Yep good idea, I'll be trying them tonight!

I have stayed in a hotel where the parents of kids sent the kids knocking on all the doors looking for paractamol for their hangovers!

Worse hotel stay was when guests at a function kept setting off fire alarms at 3 am. To be fair to the hotel they did not charge anyone for that nights stay. I think they took the function organisers to court over it.

If you are passing a DIY shop get them there. They normally have them for people who are working with drills etc.The foam ones are quite comfortable if you are not used to wearing ear plugs.

They are also a hell of a lot cheaper than the ones in Pharmacies.

Banjo String

Last time I was in an Irish hotel, I returned from my bathroom to find my wife trying to get a bloke out of our bed :eek:

This is what happened.

Wife's sister wedding in a rather nice hotel in Cavan.

Either me or the wife dropped our hotel key card in the corridor, but as we had one each we don't know who was the guilty party.

Mother an father in law going to there beds after doing family duties. Stumble across some random fella, locked, asleep in the corridor. Being the good Samaritans that they are, try and help the lad to his feet, telling him he cant sleep there etc. Then one of them spot our key card on the ground, assume it's your man's key card, help him to the room, open door and sent him on his way.

Banjo here is using the toilet, drinking from mid afternoon to earthy morning will do that to you.

Anyway, mid pee, I think I hear the wife stumbling, then mumbling and giving out about something, then I no longer think, I KNOW she's calling out my name, loudly.

I finish my biz, leave bathroom, walk into room to hear the wife trying to tell some lad he's in the wrong room.

It's then I spot him. Some lad, early thirties, one of these designer beards, lying face down on (not in) our bed at a 45degree angle across the bed snoring his head off.

I started to shake the life out of him, but he was dead for the world.

Managed to get him up with his arm over my shoulders, led him up the corridor a few rooms away from ours where I spotted an armchair, which I plopped him on to.

He wasn't in the chair when we were going for breakfast.

It could have turned out much worse.

I think you can get the foam ones in Eason and the likes for about a euro. Sell them for people studying for exams afaik

Thats sounds a bit like a Christmas party at my old workplace. We got a really cheap deal to book out this small hotel as long as we did not mind a 21st party being on at the same time.

The rooms were quite small and the twin bed were so close together that they touched and the locks on the doors were fairly useless. Two of the lads who were sharing a room woke to find this random guy waking up between them. He greeted them with 'goodmorning chapies', got up, used the bathroom and went off. The two lads were so stunned that neither of them reacted!

Right Turn Clyde

I must admit, I used to be one of those people, but it wasn't intentional. I used to drink too much and had a terrible habit of walking out through the bedroom door, thinking I was entering the bathroom. I've regularly been locked out in the hallway, ball naked, banging on the door trying to wake my girlfriend. One time I couldn't wake her, and couldn't hold me bladder any longer. I had to hop up onto a window sill and piss out the window, four floors up. Absolutely horrendous behaviour.

Wabbit Ears

I used to travel loads for work and really cant say that Ive ever really had this issue as I stayed in decent hotels and tend to get end of corridor rooms.

Once on holiday I had a school class of kids on a tour stay on my floor and it sucked but that was a cheap as chips hotel in Bratislava.

so yea, book end of corridor rooms on the higher floors on the not road facing side. Be specific, send them an e-mail, Travelling noob

Stay in hotels a lot for work in Dublin , most hotels good to keep a lid on things ...
Weddings unlikely in Dublin hotels midweek but these down the country would be a problem but the worst room to be next door to is people hiring out rooms and doing drugs normally coke ...hotels should do more to stamp this out !

vicwatson

The cnuts that walk out of their room at 07.30 and let the door slam behind them wreck my head, others shouting in the corridor also need a strip of duck tape, inconsiderate baxtards

There is nothing worse than this in a hotel. I make it my business when I book any hotel to find out:

1. Is there a hotel wedding
2. Is the wedding party staying

If either of these questions are answered yes I look else where.

I was in a hotel in cork and I had the baby with me, I asked for a very quite room because of this. About 4am there was a shouting match in out hall. Needless to say I paid only half of by bill and left.

I know people have to party but I'll not stay there when they do.

Frynge

You can have the nicest, most considering and well meaning people in the country walk trough the front door of a hotel and turn into animals to such an extent that you wished you owned a dog shelter as it would be easier to deal with you guests.

Why did you only pay half the bill i suppose it wasn't them shouting

Similar to banjo string, about ten years ago now. Was woken twice in the night by fire alarms being set off. But worse than that, I heard a key card in the door and woke by figured your man was just at the wrong door and would go away -which he did - only a few minutes later door opens and in falls this fella absolutely pissed and me in just my knickers. I got such a fright and shouted at him until he left, he was so confused. Turned out he thought that was his room, went to reception and said his key didn't work, and they just gave him a key without checking his room number :eek:

Freaked me the Fcuk out that a hotel would do that, and have always put the chain thingy on the door every since.

Yeah.Nothing worse than the sound of coke snorting and screaming hookers.

Tbh they guests that were drunk and shouting were down the wrong hall, was outta the control of the staff. And the staff were very nice.. In fairness their job at times like these is not the easiest.

I managed to sleep through a fire alarm going off three times in a hotel in Canada

Only found out about it due to a letter under the door next morning

It's the banging of the doors early in the morning I just can't get my head around.

Like its the most basic considerate mannerl y thing to not let it slam.

Just back from breakfast, it was like the last supper the way people were behaving.

Barging and jumping the q for the last hash brown.

Stayed in a hotel in Dublin recently with the family. There was a christening party staying in the hotel. At 2:30 we were woken up by White Dee having a little party singing Bob Marleys Redemption Song in the corridor. When we called security, they came up and the first thing they said to them was "Where did you get the paintings?". They had taken the paintings from the lobby on their way up. Didn't pay for the room that night.

I don't think the last supper was a buffet, although it does look like a stag party in most depictions.

Thought the early morning door banging s was revenge on the very early morning shouters

Never mind the weddings, it's the people holidaying with a rake of kids that get my blood boiling. At least the drunk ones will pass out eventually.
I still for the life of me don't understand why people bring 4 kids under 10 years of age away to a hotel in Ireland (where the weather is unpredictable), coop them up in a room and call it a holiday. It can't be a break surely!
Was is a very nice hotel in Sligo last year for 2 nights. The first night there was a hen group in the next room, and they were better neighbours than the family that occupied the room the following night. They fought, screamed, bawled and blasted the TV from the minute they arrived to the minute we checked out (exhausted). The piercing noise of the kids was occasionally broken momentarily by the parents shouting at them to be quiet, and at each other. You would've though they were from Channel 4s Skint or Benefit Street until I saw them on the way to breakfast...dressed up to the nines and all airs and graces - mummy this and sweetie that.

whatismyname

I travel round and stay in hotels very frequently, and thankfully don't experience this. I was abroad on holiday recently and was immediately facing a third floor lift door and thankfully nothing like that at any point. I sleep very heavily, but still expect I would hear something like this.

Don't know if I could cope with it if there was - not so much on holidays, but especially when away for work, having to get up the next day for work.

Oh, and almost all of the places that I stay are very budget places, and the hotel I was in abroad was very working-class, and full of kids also, as a very family place, so glad there was no such issues.

Can't say I've had any really bad experiences on hotels or at least none that immediately spring to mind, but in the spirit of the thread, I suppose everybody in Ireland except me is just a thundering inconsiderate bastard.

bunch of wussies the lot of yez! This is how to sort out other hotel guests ye don't like!:cool:

From working in hotels for the last 16 years, I can say the following to be true:

Some people just switch off when they walk through the door, to the point of having to be given instructions on how to breathe.

As a whole, most people are pleasant.

Some people are thundering arseholes, with no consideration for anyone, staff or other guests alike.

Looks are deceptive. That pleasant looking couple that checked in earlier? they're the ones that you might have to call the cops on because she's coked off her face, begging money and drinks off other people in the bar, while he gets abusive to anyone that tells her to (rightly) **** off.

You will hear about how no other hotel looks for a preauth or payment, at least once a week. every hotel I've worked in has been the same, and every hotel I have been to is the same, and every one of my friends that work in other hotels can confirm the same.

People will bitch and moan about breakfast being busy, when they (and 70% of the other guests) come down for breakfast with 10 minutes left before it finishes.

I stayed in the brehon in Killarney a few years ago and the breakfast was all you can eat, some woman treated it as that. She made 3 visits to fill her plate with a fry, I don't know if she were stockpiling or eating it. Some people act strange when they believe that they are getting something for free. There were even members of the pyjama brigade there as I witnessed in the morning when they went outside to suck on their cancer sticks.

Hard not to notice that carry on tbh. I was in the marriott in Prague years ago and it was the same breakfast deal as above. I watched 2 Scottish ladies absolutely fill their handbags to the brim with yoghurt, pastries and fruit...not one of each..oh no, the full hog, basically as much as the bags would take.
