Sometimes I travel for business, sometimes I travel for vacation. This was the latter. When I am on vacation, I like to sleep in. What I don’t like is being woken up at 8:30 AM by a 90 decibel klaxon inside my hotel room because the hotel was “testing” the building fire alarm. When my heart rate came back down to double digits, I tried getting back to sleep, and over the next couple of hours, the alarm kept going off intermittently. So no sleep was gotten. I eventually went down to the front desk to see what was going on, when I learned that they were testing the alarm system. Some lady (the GM?) acted annoyed with me and told me “there was a note on the front desk yesterday”. I did in fact check in the previous day and there was no note at the front desk, or any indication whatsoever that this would be happening. If I wanted to be woken up by loud noises, I would have joined the military.
