I was travelling back from Central Kansas to Middle Tennessee on the night of May 12 and it began storming so I decided to spend the night in Lawrence, KS. I checked in around midnight and was given room 111. When I got to my room there was a lot of noise in the room above me. I had to go get some toiletries so I left for an hour. I came back and there was still noise above me. I tried to sleep but it was extremely loud, not just a bump or two but it sounded like there was fighting or remodeling going on above me. I called the front desk, and the attendant told me that he had been having problems with them all night.
At about 2AM I called back and asked to be moved to another room aftet the noise did not abate at all. The attendant said he could not move me, but he would make them be quiet. The people above me then began intentionally banging on their floor. At 3:30AM I had enough and decided to go somewhere else. I packed my bags and went to the front desk to check out and get my money back. He then said he would prepare a room somewhere else for me. I told him that I wanted a refund. He refused. When I went to leave he said he could do $10 off the room. I did not find that acceptable, I wanted a refund because I paid for a room to sleep in, which they did not provide. It was impossible for any person to sleep in that room with a party going on upstairs. The attendant told me that they had rented adjoining rooms above me to have a party. But he still placed me in a room below theirs when I checked in.
When I was loading my car two police cars pulled into the hotel. I am guessing either the attendant or another guest called the police on the party above me.
Here is a copy of the letter I received via email in response:
