There was a dog in the room next to me that barked incessantly most of the day. I needed to rest before an event I had to attend (I had changed time zones and was struggling with that change) and was unable to do so due to the nonstop loud barking. I called the desk and was told if the owner was not in the room nothing could be done and further, I had no expectation of quiet during normal daytime hours.
They took my cell number at check in, why not use the number they took from that room to say tend to your dog? That was not presented as an option they would take, instead I was told there is no expectation of quiet during the day. The barking continued after I called. The morning I checked out, I stayed into the room before heading to the airport and the barking was again nonstop.
This 'no expectation of quiet during daytime hours' policy will absolutely affect my hotel chain choice in the future. I should have been able to use my room as a quiet place to nap during my stay there. I should have been able to watch TV in my room without constant loud dog barking. But I was not, and the staff unapologetically told me nothing could be done and I was in the wrong to expect quiet when the sun is up.
The room was clean and comfortable, but the barking dog ruined my stay.
