Too loud to sleep - WWYD?

Booked a v naice hotel for 2 nights. It is our holiday and was supposed to be a real treat and much more than we would normally spend (£350 a night).

Arrived at hotel at 7pm after v early start and loooong car journey. Checked in and paid. Lady then mentioned there was a wedding but assured us we would be unlikely to hear it and if we had any problems to ring reception and let them know.

Turns out our room was bang next to wedding venue. Music was so loud we couldn’t sleep. Every time someone opened the door at end of corridor it became louder and lots of loud drunk people walking past. Guests singing along at the top of their voices.

Eventually I called reception and asked how late the music was going to go on as we couldn’t sleep. I was told it was “only” until midnight, and that I had been informed about the wedding at check in and there was nothing they could do. Things finally quietened down at about 12:30am.

I spoke to reception this morning to check there are no other events tonight as we would leave if so. They confirmed not and gave a very half-hearted apology. They don’t seem to care less. I’m not at all happy.

What would you do? I don’t want to be a CF but equally we’re all exhausted (especially 6 YO DS). He’s been too tired to enjoy the sight seeing we planned to do today and we’ve given up and come back to the room. Should I let it go or should I escalate it?

I would be inclined to take what they said at face value, and hopefully get a good night's sleep. Maybe email when you get home? At the moment you are at risk of spoiling the rest of your break. Things always seem worse when you're knackered Flowers

Speak to the manager - they need to know that the noise was that bad and that the apology you received was half-hearted. Especially as you have children with you

Ask to be moved to a room away from the function room, preferably away from the lifts at the end of the corridor where there won't be anyone passing?

At £350 a night I’d be looking for some money back or a free night. That’s just awful - lots of noise is always bad when you’re away, but all the more so here somehow as you pushed the boat out for a special stay.

Thanks so much for the replies. I mentioned it at check out and they immediately took 50% off the bill. This seems fair to me and I was impressed at how quickly they dealt with it.

Twitter and Tripadvisor are your friends here.
Shout it out loud over this and you might get some satisfaction from the hotel.
