Hotel Noise :S - Fullchat

This weekend saw a pre planned , like 12 months ago on the last trip, a 3 day motorcycling trip into the Cairngorms. 2 nights at a hotel on Perth Racecourse. Wet on the way up Friday, mostly dry and clear on the Saturday for a good ride over Glenshee, Braemar and back via Grantown and Pitlochry when it rained later on. Home again Sunday when it really rained a blew. Some real kit drying and cleaning to do.

Our hotel was of modern 2 storey construction. It was well gone midnight and coming from the room above was the sound of someone noisily constantly walking around the room. I mentioned it at breakfast to the guy in the next room who said he had heard something and it may have been a Rotweiller which belonged to one of the guests. Yes probably.

What he did say though was that he always tried to book a room on the top floor to avoid the 'furniture movers'. The constant sound of furniture being moved. This suddenly awakened memories of exactly the same phenomena which I had observed on more than one occasion.

I know there is sometimes the sound of the usual hotel shenanigans but have any other of you seasoned travelers also experienced the 'furniture movers'? Not that there is much furniture in your average hotel room.

Its a quiet day :)

I read somewhere that a significant proportion of 'British' porn is filmed in Travelodges..........

That's handy for Zero, they are building a new Travelodge in Walton on Thames.

No, he's moving away from Travelodges towards caravans, and I think I've discovered what got him thinking that way.....

Spanish holiday apartments seem to be built entirely of concrete with tiled floors. I don't think the ones I rent always have six foot, sixteen stone transvestites stomping around in high heels in the floor above, but why does it sound like they do?

Stressed concrete acts like the skin of a drum. My overseas apartment has a similar construction. The lady above us is lovely and certainly does not walk around 6.30am wearing stilettos; but it sounds like she does...
