Just stayed in a hotel that had a Dohm sounds machine. I’d never seen one before, but it did a great job (along with ear plugs) of drowning out traffic and hallway noise during the day. It has a fan or something that makes a steady, dull white noise. I ordered one as soon as I got up from my nap. Also got a smaller Rohm unit that works well too. I ordered the “Uno” that seems to be more cheaply made than the version the hotel had, but still works for home. I’ve tried using my phone to play sleep sounds in the past, but the looping/skipping often wakes me up. With Dohm, it’s just one long, consistent noise.

How often do you all show up to a hotel after a red eye and the hotel room isn’t ready? And if this is a common enough problem, are you legacy or ulcc? I’ve always blamed it on the hotel, but curious if it’s a booking issue on the airlines end.

Tired of housekeepers knocking and coming in? Put on those meaty clackers on display and they will double check that check out sheet before knocking
