To sleep terribly in hotels?

Why can I not sleep in hotels? The whole point of hotel rooms is that you sleep in them. I always find:

  1. Too hot (or occasionally - too cold)
  2. Slamming doors all night
  3. Can hear conversations from other doors/corridors
  4. People's bathroom fans whirring
  5. Bed is usually too hard or too soft
  6. I get disorientated in the night
  7. Usually cramped and can't go into another room to read or prepare food to avoid disturbing who I am with so just lie there sleeplessly.

I always prefer Airbnb but then forget it have to go for wedding or similar then just lie there regretting it all night! Does anyone find the same? Am lying in a bed now hoping that it will be better than last night when I got about 4 hours broken sleep!

It can be a problem for me in really hot weather because you can only open the window a very small amount (presumably to stop people throwing themselves out?). But a lot of places without air con will supply you with a fan.

I always try to check in early if I can. Then you get a good choice of rooms. Stayed last week on business in a Premier Inn and needed to sleep well. I was initially allocated a first floor room near the lift. I had had a bad experience of constant door banging/ coming and going previously, so I asked if I could have a top floor room down one end. Fortunately no late night/early morning noise.

Lovely comfortable beds
