I've stayed in many hotels, but this experience was particularly bad. I checked in around 8 PM and asked for a quiet room because I'm a light sleeper. They gave me a 2nd-floor room not facing the road.
1. Upon entering the room, there was a slight new renovation smell, which I accepted.
2. The soundproofing was terrible. I could clearly hear noises from other rooms, footsteps in the hallway, and doors closing. I accepted that too.
3. Outside my window were self-built houses belonging to local residents, very close by. There were various noises at night. Around 11 or 12 PM, I'd occasionally hear the very loud and grating sound of small shop shutters. I couldn't stand it!
4. Before 6:30 AM, there was a continuous roaring sound downstairs, very loud. There was no way I could go back to sleep; the noise was incredibly irritating. I endured it until 7 AM and called the front desk. They said there was nothing they could do about the garbage truck noise. They offered a verbal apology and suggested a late check-out. I actually laughed, I was so annoyed, and told them I would complain. I couldn't take it anymore!!!
5. The noise continued until I left at 7:30 AM. With panda eyes, I went to check out and played the video recording of the noise for them. The front desk said they had already reported the situation to their manager and would contact me by phone. It's now 3:30 PM, and Trip.com has reminded me to write a review, but no one from the hotel has contacted me. This is the first time I've taken so long to write a lengthy review. It's a shame I can't upload the video. And they even advertised this room type as 'Quiet Sleep'!!!
