Someone knocked on our door three different times between 12-1 am. I opened the door each time with no one there. The assumed it was kids so I called the front desk to let them know. They advised it was actually them/the hotel but didn’t have a good reason??? Regardless, I was highly irritated and couldn’t sleep the rest of the night.
