night ruined by noisy neighbors

I requested a quiet room and it was quiet until 1130 pm when the room next door had a party where the guests were shouting ridiculously until 4:00 am. We called the front desk numerous times but the noise never stopped until the police were finally called.

We stay at this property a lot due to its proximity to my daughter’s sports team. We enjoy the convenient location, the breakfast, free parking, a nice gym and cleanliness of the rooms. However, it seems like they may have a bird problem on the property lately. There is bird excrement all over the balconies and every morning we are awakened early by very loud birds. Also, if there is an event next door at the event venue, parking is also non existent which is a little frustrating.
