Next room had huge rock music playing until 3am. Kept us awake. We called security who got them to turn it down at midnight. After 15 minutes the booming was Bach on high. No follow up from security. I will not stay at your hotel Again.

I could hear a dog barking and doors slamming late into the night. The morning was still slamming doors. The walls are very thin and we even had a sound machine. Staff was amazing and great amenities.
