Don’t Slam the DoorBe conscious of your neighbors in a hotel or on a cruise ship and make sure not to slam your room or balcony door. Instead, close it gently to keep the noise to a minimum. It just takes a little bit of effort to be a more considerate traveler.

Biggest reasons I opt for B&B whenever possible…avoid noisey hotels and indulged children. Most hotels have not been very attentive to the slamming door issue but one great little hotel I stayed in recently, Museum Art Hotel in Wellington. NZ, has door closers that softly shut them without noise! Nary a sound…lovely peace!
Spot on! I think the hotels could do more to muffle the noise by using padded bumpers on the doors. We’ve done this in our own house on all the doors and cabinets. What really drives me up the wall is when it’s the maids making all the noise early in the morning. I get the feeling they want to get me out of my room by 9:30 so they can clean up and go home.
