  One for all you Muzak lovers out there

  Hands up if you don't love elevator music. I guess that's just about everybody then. Which begs the question: why oh why would any hotel proprietor want to have piped background music delivered via speakers into every corridor on every floor for 13 hours straight every day? Well this hotel proprietor seemed to think it would be a great idea; which is why from 9am until 10pm every day, it plays that instantly identifiable brand of not-quite-jazz, not-quite-blues, not-quite-any-recognisable-form-of-vomit-inducing-music familiar to elevator users everywhere. And, just in case you're thinking: "ah, but, elevator music is BACKGROUND music!", It's my duty to inform you that this isn't the case. No this music is played at a volume of what I would put at 7.5/10 on a scale where a 2 would be reasonable level of background "mood" music and 10 would be "please make it stop, I have blood coming from my ears". Never mind, you might say. There is always a solution to any problem. The receptionist had said to contact them with any questions and so I did; politely asking what time the music would end and if it could be turned down at all. " Nyet. 0900-2200." Was all I got, along with the icy stare that normally passes for customer service in this friendly corner of the world. What else? Well I could mention the "Free" Wifi, but TripAdvisor reviews that complain about the Wifi get my back up so I'm not about to go there. No listen, a hotel only has one function to fulfil and that is to provide its customers with a decent night's sleep, by playing deafening level mood music outside every door until 10 o'clock at night means you have failed in that simple task. The stupidest part is that I didn't even need to stay there. I had a perfectly good sofa bed in an apartment opposite but my back was starting to hurt and I thought one night in a proper bed might give me at least one decent night's sleep. I paid just $25 for one night and have rated it as a budget hotel, but this is a Baltic seaside resort in winter and I'm sure in peak season these jokers have the gall to charge upwards of $100 for the same room so don't be deceived by the budget tag. Avoid at all costs.
