Our stay at the Blackwell was our first night away as parents. We were woken up constantly due to other guests slamming doors and screaming. Security was very slow to address the issues on two occasions, and lax with their dealing with the volume. What was supposed to be a night of rest for me and my wife was quite the opposite. I would have slept better at home with a teething infant with ear infections.
