Guests sleep sounder with snore patrol on duty
If you are staying at a hotel and snore, this may be your biggest nightmare: “snore monitors” who patrol the corridors in designated quiet zones of Crowne Plaza Hotels.
"We have quiet zones on two floors of the hotel. As Snore Monitor, I conduct floor walks to check for noise disruptions, paying particular attention to the quiet zone rooms," said Laura Simpson, Snore Monitor at Leeds Crowne Plaza hotel in northern England.
"Snore monitors" patrol corridors in the designated quiet zones of Crowne Plaza hotels in the cities of London, Leeds and Manchester. Their job is to listen out for offensive noises and knock on the door of guests who snore too loudly, reports Reuters.
So far, the patrols are only found in three cities in England. But they are a test and might come to others in the chain.
So what happens to repeat offenders who continue the practice and are apprehended by the snore patrol?
They will be offered an alternative room away from the "quiet zone" for their next stay.
"If guests do continue to make noise we will suggest that the quiet zone is not really an area for them, and that they would probably be better off in one of our normal rooms," Simpson said.
Crowne Plaza is also testing the first "snore absorption" rooms at ten hotels in Europe and the Middle East. Crowne is owned by InterContinental hotels Group.
Guests in a "snore absorption room" can expect the latest snore control technology to reduce the repetitive noise. Sound proofing on the walls and headboards, anti-snoring pillows and white noise machines are among the features designed to ease snoring.
"We've all been there," said Tom Rowntree, spokesman for Crowne Plaza. "There's nothing worse than being kept up all night, that's why we've designed this specific snore absorption room to help give our guests a great night's sleep."
