QUIET
SETTINGS
When I
checked in, my only request was a quiet room.
The friendly front desk staffer
asked if I wanted a higher floor, a lower or street or rear-facing room.
The
room that is the most tranquil, I answered each time.
The person said I would
be on the first (first one above ground floor lobby) floor.
I asked about
street noises.
“This is the quietest street in Copa” the person said.
He was
not BSing.
Being on the first floor, I could be down one level and on the
streets in no time.
I heard a little bit of delivery truck sounds, but adjusted
to it the first day.
A two night guest on my eastern wall had the TV up a bit
loud a bit late, but a white noise app on the phone masked that annoyance in no
time.
I’m also big on privacy.
Once I configure my pillow, extra bed sheet,
luggage, belongings – I really don’t want anybody messing with it.
Ibis is
probably the first hotel of the hundreds I’ve stayed with that actually
respected the “do not make up room” sign for as long as I had it up.
No maids
knocking during nap town.
No panicked call from the front desk twisting my arm
for a housekeeping visit.
The maids replenished the things I needed when I
asked them for supplies in the hallway.
