The smoke alarm must have outlived its expiration date, because it beeped every minute or so. The alternate room the clerk offered was still either dirty or in use, because the bed was unmade. The clerk said her computer didn't let her see which rooms were clean and which weren't, and that was the only other room available anyway. The clerk gave me a battery to change in the alarm, but it turned out the alarm was hard wired and had no battery (I don't know if it was supposed to have one). I unwired it and enjoyed the silence.
