A Non-Invasive Approach to Resolving Chronic Hotel Noise Issues

Prime location can be the biggest determining factor for a hotel's success, but oftentimes, it can also be a drawback for guests. Whether it's the charm of a historic district or the energy of a downtown hub, external noise is the primary disruptor of the guest experience. For many operators, "solving" noise has traditionally meant an endless cycle of room credits, service recovery, and defensive responses to negative reviews.

Indow Windows offers a definitive exit from that cycle. By creating a high-performance acoustic barrier without the cost or disruption of window replacement, Indow allows hotels to protect their reputation and their revenue simultaneously.

Proven Results Across Diverse Hospitality Environments

21 Broad, Nantucket, MA

In a restored 1872 Victorian, original wavy glass windows are a landmark requirement, but they offered no protection against alleyway HVAC units and street noise.

The Solution

Acoustic Grade Indow inserts were custom-fitted into the existing frames.

The Impact

General Manager Dan Matter reported a night and day difference. The inserts were so discreet that staff often forgot they were there during routine maintenance.

The Commonwealth Richmond, VA

Despite a massive renovation, this historic hotel was losing money to service recovery, refunding guests disturbed by the early-morning external intercoms of the Richmond bus system.

The Solution

Quick, hardware-free installation of Indow inserts.

The Impact

The hotel stopped giving away credits for noise complaints. "It's very rare that you can permanently fix any problem in your facility," said GM Christina Norton. "Indow has practically fixed it."

Embassy Suites, Orlando, FL

Surrounded by nightclubs, this 167 room property needed a solution that fit into an $8 million renovation without the massive cost or downtime of full window replacement.

The Solution

After a 90 day sleep test by management in the noisiest suite, the hotel outfitted 167 windows.

The Impact

The entire installation took just one day. Post-installation, noise complaints dropped by an estimated 80%, securing long term guest loyalty.

The Society Hotel Portland, OR

This 1881 Victorian-era hotel faced a triple threat: nightlife noise, drafty single pane glass, and a goal of achieving LEED certification.

The Solution

Inserts were installed on the noisy south side, and later expanded to the west side to combat thermal loss.

The Impact

The hotel significantly reduced the need for portable electric heaters in winter and created a more modern interior feel while keeping the historic 8 foot arched windows intact.

    We ordered the Thermo insulation inserts for our cabin off the Blue Ridge Parkway in VA. The windows are old and drafty and with the wind and the cold that has happened this year, the inserts have really came through. We used to see the curtains move when the wind was blowing hard and the cold would come right through the windows. After installing the inserts, which was so easy, there is a night and day difference with the window inserts and the house is actually warmer and the heat is not running constantly. These inserts have saved us thousands of dollars in window replacments and you can not even tell that the inserts are in the windows. Thank you Window Inserts for all your help.

    Excellent product for windows outside noise problems. Bought 2 Indow inserts for our bedroom windows. I was hesitant at first, but after installing our new acoustic Indows I was impressed. It really cut down on outside noise tremendously. Got few estimates for 2 new windows to replace the old ones. The cost of installing new windows was a shocker. Now, I am happy with my choice to go with Indows. Highly recommend!

    Thank you indows! We are very happy with our 5 new indows which were delivered by Fedex and in

    perfect shape when opened. Our dining room and adjoining room are warmer in the cold, which is a bit more this winter

    The indows were installed easily by myself and my wife as expected and look great. In total we have installed 8 of your products. Thank you again, Randy and Mary Jane.

    The inserts came as scheduled. They were crated very well. They fit perfectly. Great product and service.

  • 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Quick delivery and the windows fit very well even with how many anomolies there were in our 107 year old house. Installation took longer than I expected with 12 units to install, but once I figured out what I was doing it went much quicker. We ordered white frames with the plan to eventually repaint all the interior trim. In the mean time, the frames hide very well with our curtains and sheers. We are glad to get the decreased noise and improved thermal performance without ruining the exterior of this historic home.

    My home is about 500 ft. from an interstate highway and had been looking for a solution to reduce the highway noise, especially 18-wheeler truck noise all night long. What pushed me to finally make a decision was the 9 month highway repair project with trucks moving back and forth with their loud beeping when going in reverse (every 20 seconds) all through the night, every week night. I opted for the acoustic inserts, which took 3 months to receive from the time of my order. I was not happy about the 3 month waiting period. I was very timely with measuring the windows which included an arched window which I had to trace. The measurement process required 10 hours of time, most of which was the tracing (including time and cost to make several trips to buy materials for this). When they finally arrived, I installed the inserts and had approximately a 30% reduction in decibel levels. After nearly $5,000 in costs, I was hoping to have had better noise reduction.

    I live in a house that’s over 100 years old so some of the windows are odd sizes and drafty. Originally I ordered 3 Indow window inserts for my dining room to try them out. I was so impressed with their appearance and effectiveness at insulating and reducing sound that I decided to order more. Recently I ordered another 9 Indow window units for my living room, bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen. Both of the orders went very smoothly. They arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. I have already installed all of them and just in time as Chicago and most of the midwest has just been hit by a winter storm and blizzard with below freezing temperatures and 8-12 inches of snow. I couldn’t be happier they look fantastic as well as being practical and functional. My home is so much warmer and quieter now that they have been installed. Indow’s pricing was great and they gave me discounts as a returning customer and for bulk purchasing. Customer service, instructions and follow up were all excellent. Such a wonderful company and product.

    I had 7 indow windows installed for draft reduction in my master bedroom. I had a home energy assessor [ from our utility supplier BGE] who checked for drafts / air leaks using infra-red camera and he certified "no leaks". Or bedroom is definitely less colder this winter and I am very happy with the cost effectiveness and efficiency offered by Indow window.

    The process of ordering and installing is quite extensive. This was my first experience with the company and left me a bit overwhelmed, even though I have 50 years experience in home construction and maintenance. But the results are really satisfying.

  • 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Everything fit. Installation was easy. I ordered almost 40 Indows and NO problems: clean, clearly marked for installation placement and can’t wait to NOT freeze this winter! Martin and Matt were beyond helpful!

  • 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The indows came and all fit perfictly. I am excited that I will no longer have to install the winterizing plastic sheets over our windows each winter. They are nearly invisible but I have the feeling that they will make a positive impact on our heating bills. Thank you!
