Traveled with family
They had an event that was so loud that I could hear it through my ear plugs and wall on another floor. I called to ask to turn it down and they said there was nothing they could do and it wouldn’t be going all night. The noise did not stop until around 1am and I had to be up by 5am. Poor customer service.
