Crown Plaza group of hotels has given a new meaning to hospitality, with introduction of hotel rooms capable of absorbing snoring. These hotel rooms would enable their guests to sleep undisturbed.
The changes introduced by Crown plaza in these special hotel rooms are, sound proofing the walls, providing an anti snore pillow and a white noise machine to ensure that noise from snoring is at its lowest. Any guest with snoring of higher decibel are arranged to be shifted to other hotel rooms, away from these anti snoring rooms.
So far Crown Plaza group has introduced this facility in six of their hotels in Britain.
According to Tow Rowntree, spokesperson of Crown Plaza, The need to renovate these hotel rooms, accordingly, arose from the fact, that guests were unable to sleep because of the disturbance caused, due to their partner's snoring. These redesigned rooms would ensure a good sleep.

Eaton School superintendent Dr. Randy Miller confirmed this and also it was a mistake on the part of the coach putting the boys and girls in same hotel rooms, but an unavoidable one as no other hotel rooms were available.
