Sleepless in Kalamazoo
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/01/05
We stayed at the hotel on New Years Eve 2004 after visiting the Kalamazoo downtown events an the Battle of the Bands. The hotel was nearly empty when we checked in. By 10:00 PM when we return the hotel it had been overtaken by several families with small childern that ran up and down the steps and hall ways until 4:00 AM. One toddler even came to my door and tried to open it while banging on the door (12:30pm).I called the desk several times after 12:00PM to request they intervene and request the running, stomping and jumping. They told me there was nothing they could do.."it is new years eve". Until these urchins arrived..the hotel was clean and quite. In the morning the "free breakfast" and plates were gone well before the 10:00 AM cut off time. My advice, before you book, find out if the families with brats will be there or not. If not, might be ok there...but I won't be back. Just be cause you have kids does not mean you have the right to take over the hotel people.
