We complained several nights that the band music was keeping us awake into the night, one night till almost 2:30pm. It was horrible, and they did nothing to accommodate us. For what we paid for that suite and amenities, this was not in any way appropriate. Again, the front desk said they would report to management that first night, that they could do nothing, we were basically trapped to just live with it We were never contacted. We should get some recompense.

Despite being a gold member(qualifying me for room upgrades) and typically receiving room upgrades at other hotels, a lady with glasses at the front desk informed me that I would need to pay for an upgrade, even though rooms were available.
