I’ve noticed that even if a hotel has a good room, great location, and solid amenities, one issue can completely ruin the stay.
For me, it’s noise. If I can hear hallway traffic, doors slamming, or other guests throughout the night, it becomes impossible to sleep and the experience is basically ruined. The frustrating part is that this is something you can’t really predict when booking.
I’m curious what other travelers think the biggest deal-breaker is when staying at a hotel.
