I have mentioned in other posts how often I stay in hotels for work. When a darts competition is in town, NOBODY gets to sleep. I guess achieving drunk level 8, talking loudly in halls at 3am next to as many doors as possible is acceptable good Samaritan behavior? Fuck you. Some of us have to work in the morning. So did the guy in front of my door who i told to be quiet. "I haff to work too, at eight ayyemmm." It was a little while ago at nearly 4. For several hours, doors were slamming shut as the bar closed or their particular competition was over. So there is something to take away from this. Hotel etiquette? Is there a thing?
Fuck yes there is.
1. Hotel room doors close on their own and are heavy. They slam shut loudly. They wake everyone the fuck up because they shake the walls and floors. Don't let your door slam shut and wake everyone the fuck up! You have some control you know! be considerate.
2. hotel room doors aren't perfectly sealed. there is light that comes under the door. Do you know what else goes where light can get through? SOUND! Don't talk loud in the hallways. People are trying to sleep. They paid for that room. Are you going to give them money for the sleep they cant get because your drunk and loud in the hall in front of their door? Shut up. It's a goddamn library as far as you're drunk ass is concerned. There are KIDS in some of these rooms with their families trying to sleep as well. Guess what? They just heard you talk about your Fuckin fuck fuckitty fuck fuckin fuck fuck. Great. Go apologize morons!
3. People in the hotel aren't there for the same reasons you are. they are all on different sleep schedules. Most of the time this includes sleeping when its dark outside. Keep your loud ass loud outside, or in the bar downstairs. Keep your quiet ass in the halls and also...keep your quiet ass in the room because the walls are paper thin in most places. Your neighbor can hear you fart. Your neighbor can hear you piss in the toilet. Your neighbor can hear your whiny ass complain to your whiny ass girlfriend about your whiny ass mom or her whiny ass mom.
(NOTE: all of the things i speak of have happened to me/i have heard in the last year )
So in the end, I don't care what you are in town for, keep your shit to yourself when in the hallways of ANY hotel. Jesus christ let's not even get into discussion about the swingers convention in town last week. I'm sooo goddamn glad they were put in one end of the hotel or everyone would have seen some disgusting old people action in the halls. The hotel van driver had some shit to say about that.
Wheres the goddamn Tylenol!

This.. All of this...
I haven't had _too_ many horror stories, but there are a few. Such as a couple of over exuberant fuckers in the neighboring room that were acting out Caligula, or so it sounded. Post coitus, they stayed up and talked it out. "That was a good part." and "Next time when you do XXX, make sure you are tickling my YYY, too." etceteras. I was livid because they were keeping me up and having way more fun than me, but it wasn't worth the post coitus interruptus.
Or when I ordered a nightcap at the hotel bar and there were three fruit flies in my $20 shot of Single Barrel Bourbon having a party. I asked for a new pour and he spilled out the flies and bourbon and refilled _the same glass_ ! I told him. Uhhhh, no... Forget the drink... I'll go across the street to the liquor store and buy a single for $2.50 and call it a night, thanks.

Agreed. It's unreal how ridiculous people can be.
Traveling for business can be stressful enough without rowdy people keeping you awake at all hours of the night. I pack disposable ear plugs for this very reason. If you turn the alarm clock volume up you won't sleep through an alarm. Or get a wake-up call. In most noisy-hallway deals it works well.
