Why do 2.5 star hotels always blare the TVs during breakfast?

Is it like a rule or something? It makes me so damn grumpy - do they not understand the concept of feng shui? Why wouldn't entry level hotels aspire to be more like a Westin or Hyatt or W and have classy lounge music playing softly with the dumb TVs on mute?

This morning I muted the two TVs and the dumb Hampton Inn kitchen maid acted like I'm the a-hole. Nobody cares about the local news in Fargo, nobody staying at this dumb hotel is from here.

Just man up and lower the volume yourself

Eta. Tell the maid if she don't like it to suck it

Just ask to turn it down, or walk up there and feel for a volume button.

Maid maybe had it loud so she could hear while dealing with assholes.

I've been to numerous hotels have never seen that.
And I'm talking low life hotels like clarion, Holliday inn, Wyndham, best western, etc.

You're doing it all wrong, I ALWAYS have my ear buds in with whatever my flavor of the moment is playing on pandora or spodify while I fill my Starbucks aluminum mug up with joe and grab two big cups of OJ and find my table where I'm about to feast at

Because mostly old people stay there and they are hard of hearing.

Are you seriously staying at a 2.5 star hotel and bitching that "they don't understand the concept of feng shui"?

When you go home will you be pissed off at your dog because they've not balanced your checkbook while you were gone?

They want to drown out the sounds of the handful of guests who spent the whole night wasted and who now are barfing in their toilets early in the AM.
