Loud!!

Check in staff were friendly on Jan1st at 4pm. The night was stayed, the hotel was basically empty. A small number of cars in the parking lot and half the building was dark from no occupancy. My family and I (kids aged 9 and 6) were in a connecting room beside another family. This family was LOUD. Constantly in and out of their door slamming it, every 5mins for hours. Loudly talking on the phone, music, the TV. It was awful. We had the worst sleep. They went until about 3am. Why were we crammed in when the hotel was empty?
