The floor I stayed on was super noisy!!! There were parties going on Friday and Saturday nights and I had to call security. They would stop for a little and then start up again. I was not able to get any sleep! I did go down to reservation desk on Saturday after not sleeping all night and asked them to change my room if the people next door were not checking out. I was told they were checking out that day. That Saturday night, the same thing happened. Party all night! The on Sunday morning all I heard were slamming doors! I was exhausted all weekend. What a way to spend Mother's Day weekend.
