Alton Towers Resort bans loud sex in some hotel rooms
I'm sure we've all stayed a night in a hotel where we wished that there was a ban on sex because of the couple in the room next door, but I can honestly say I never thought I'd see a day when an actual hotel sex ban went into effect.That's exactly what has happened in some hotel rooms at the Alton Towers Resort, a giant theme park and water park in Staffordshire outside London.
After complaints from families about noisy hotel neighbors louder than the screams from the roller coasters, Alton Towers' owners have designated certain rooms as quiet "family friendly" zones and others as "adults only." The family friendly zones have been set up in both the Alton Towers Hotel and Splash Landings.
To be fair, I've been awakened by loud kids more often than I have by couples getting it on in the room next door, so perhaps those adults-only zones are the place to be.

Wait a minute, something ain't right here. There's a "quiet" tower but it's "family friendly"? Have the people that set the policy MET children? Because the last time I was near some, they were not exactly quiet. Maybe they should add a hangover tower for those who need the quiet most between the hours of, oh, 4am and noon.
Also, hello, is there an enforcement policy? Because that's, uh, kinky.

Interesting you describe Staffordshire as outside London. Is this because London is the only place in the UK you have heard of? I visited Orlando once, outside New York. ;)
