Inattentive parents are the most aggravating hotel guests, according to the Expedia 2015 Hotel Etiquette Study, which asked 1,022 Americans to rank the most frustrating behavior by fellow hotel guests. The study was commissioned by Expedia and conducted by GfK.
The full list of hotel etiquette violations, from most to least annoying, includes:
• Inattentive parents
• Hallway hellraisers
• Complainers
• In-Room Revelers (noisemakers nearby)
• Bickerers
• Poolside partiers
• Hot tub canoodlers (amorous couples in a public hot tub)
• Business bar boozer (sloshed business travelers)
• Elevator chatterbox
“While etiquette violations differ, they tend to come down to the same behavior: whether or not guests respect the strangers in close proximity to them,” said John Morrey, vice president and general manager, Expedia.com. “The same is true for flying, or for driving. A modicum of consideration for your fellow travelers can go a very long way and may ultimately enhance your overall travel experience.”
