Other guests behaviour in hotels.

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.

You fap'd anyway huh

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.

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.

I suppose you would have applauded them only you can't clap with one hand.

Micky Dolenz · 16-05-2015 11:49AM

I sleep like I'm near death so not much wakes me.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 16-05-2015 11:53AM

Drunk man banging on the door looking for a lend of 50 quid.

mfceiling · 16-05-2015 11:57AM

I just book out the entire hotel and then I don't have to see any of you plebs...

Who's the room having sex with?

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:

Sofiztikated · 16-05-2015 12:40PM

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.

How did you get anything else done with all the judgement-passing?

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.

I've been known to bring a croissant or muffin away to eat for lunch. And wouldn't be too bothered about people eating big breakfasts. They might not do it all the time, they're on holidays. Maybe they want to eat a lot at the start of the day so as not to have to eat until dinner if they're touring around for the day. Anything that doesn't get eaten will be chucked out too, lots of waste.

Flippyfloppy · 16-05-2015 01:17PM

I agree with the above poster. Plus, when staying in hotels I tend to go for breakfast later, hence its closer to lunchtime and I'm more hungry. So I sample more variety than I usually would, cereal, fruit salad, a fry. And would definitely take a couple of croissants and fruit for the family for later if We're heading off.

Maybe it looks worse when the offenders are slumming it in pjs & smoking?

Micky Dolenz · 16-05-2015 01:19PM

I'm not a great eater first thing in the morning so normally just sip a tea and have a yoghurt. I sit there and think, if this was lunch time it would be great. Might start filling a bag after all.

The only bad experience I've had in a hotel was the morning after my best friends hen party. I was on deaths door, some thundering **** started banging on our door calling out about breakfast. Wrong door, obviously.

I was so angry I mustered up all the strength I had to yell back that I hoped they choked on their breakfast

You've reminded me

I was once on a work project that took three days and nights to implement and my team was the night shift

We were staying in a hotel in Belfast with notes on the booking not to disturb us during the day and the do not disturb sign on our doors

The cleaning staff completely ignored them and proceeded into four of the rooms cleaning araround the sleeping bodies until someone woke up and had a few words with them

Cold War Kid · 16-05-2015 01:31PM

Can't expect quiet in hotels at weekends/in busy places in fairness - certainly not if there's a wedding on.

But people slamming doors and yelling on corridors... Some people can't do anything without a big thundering noise/ordeal/drama to accompany it. How is it so difficult not to do things quietly? I don't mean tiptoe-ing around like a mouse, but just... normal level of noise?

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

This.If you want peace and tranquility follow Henrys advice and splash out a few bob.Noisy guests in hotels don't bother me,live and let live is my raison d'etre,if you can't beat them,join them.

Ice Storm · 16-05-2015 01:56PM

I was staying in a hotel a few years back when there was an event on in the town so the hotel was fairly full.

We were woken by rowdy guests during the night which was annoying but I suppose it goes with the territory, given the timing. We got back to sleep only to be woken again, this time by a phone call from reception asking us to keep the noise down! :mad:

The_Captain · 16-05-2015 02:29PM

Some people stay up late, some people get up early, some people are eating the breakfasts they paid for!! :eek:

How do you special snowflakes cope in the real world?
