Known noisemakers live there.
I asked for a quiet room which they replied I asked for a quiet room they are all quiet he said Woke to kids with parents making noise in the hall as well as in the room next to me. When I complained they knew who it was. So why did you put me next to a known noisemaker. Now they offered to change my room. I just left.
