Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
The loud cycling A/C drives me nuts too.
I was in a brand new hotel this year - very nice room in almost every way, but it had a noisy A/C unit. Guess that flaw isn't going to get fixed anytime soon.
My other peeve on A/C units are one that direct the nice cold air right at the bed. So as it cycles on and off I'm too cold, then too hot, rinse and repeat.
I often do the freeze the room before sleep time trick, then turn of the A/C, but that only works sometimes.
Sigh
Yup. You have to wonder if the people who design these hotel rooms every actually sleep in them.
I was at a nice, mid-priced hotel earlier this year. They put the cable box that connects to the TV on a shelf about 2 inches above the floor and near the foot of the bed. The remote needs line of sight to work with it. Guess what? No line of sight from the bed, the desk or the easy chair in the room. I had to get up walk to the front of the bed, stoop down point the remote at the box to get it to work. This is a hotel from a major hotel company that has thousands of hotels all over the world. (I'm looking at your IHG Holiday Inn).
Like I said. Do the people who design these rooms actually use them?
That said, I would not let these minor inconveniences deter me from the fund, exciting and rewarding travel I have done. But, I might let it keep me from staying there again.
