when my trio performed at Clarinetfest 2000 we flew in to the US on a monday afternoon and stayed our first night at Thunderbird Lodge (Norman, OK).... i asked for a room that didn't have any neighbours booked in so that i could practise..... i worked from about 9pm to 10.30, then got up early- went for a (humid) run and started practise at about 8am..... 30 minutes later a man appeared in the window waving at me- it was Jozeph Balogh!!!!!!! he and his wife had arrived and taken the room next door, and had gone to sleep the night before listening to me practising crazy modern music.... i was just a little embarrassed, but they seemed unconcerned and were most friendly about it!
when staying in a hotel, there is often a room that may be on a corner etc, if you ask about it sometimes they don't have a clue (or don't care) so stake the place out... look around. In Christchurch the motel the orchestra put me up in a year or so ago had a great room with no neighbours, and after i pestered them (i was, after all, there for several weeks) they moved me into this room.
