SLEEP PROBLEMS : - UPDATED

 

 

Hotel starts "snore patrol"
- in northern England
"Crowne Plaza is trialing the first "snore absorption" rooms
at 10 hotels in Europe and the Middle East,
whilst six branches in Britain have implemented "snore patrols" this month in a bid to combat noisy sleepers.
"Snore monitors" patrol corridors in the designated quiet zones
of Crowne Plaza hotels in the cities of London,
Leeds and Manchester.
Their job is to listen out for offensive noises and knock
on the door of guests who snore too loudly."
