Tips For Dealing With Hotel Noise
Sometime a trip that started off well with the purchase of cheap airplane tickets and discount hotel rooms or cheap vacation packages can get a little challenging when you check into your hotel room and find that outside noise makes it difficult to sleep.
The following are suggestions from Rolf Potts on how to best deal with a noisy hotel room:
• Employing earplugs is often an effective way to dim outside noise and get a good night sleep. If you did not pack any ear plugs, see if there is a nearby drug store since most sell ear plugs. Ear plugs are quite cheap and an effective way to block out undesired noise.
• Noise can also be combated by creating some of your own white noise. Consider trying headphones or ear buds and listening to music or turning on your clock radio. Alternatively turning on a room fan or bathroom fan may create enough competing noise with that going on outside your room to help with sleep.
• Try blocking the noise at its source. If the noise is coming from the hallway, then take a towel and stuff it underneath or adjacent to the door to muffle that sound. If the ...
... problem is coming from street noise through the window, then close the curtains and/or draw the blinds. Sometimes a little bit of fabric can be an effective barrier to outside noise.
• When the noise is coming from guests in other rooms, do not hesitate to call the front desk and complain, particularly when it is late at night.
• Avoid noise problems in hotels when checking in by requesting a quiet room. Stay away from rooms on lower floors facing the street which will be exposed to a lot of traffic noise. Also avoid rooms near bars, discos, and anything else likely to create a lot of noise.
• Finally, if all else fails, go back to the front desk and request another room that is quieter.
