Is it a hotel or dancehall?

Pros: Its location was within a decent walk of the Royal Mile.
Cons: The hotel needs to decide if it's a dancehall or a hotel. If it insists on being both, hire security to keep drunk partiers from waking its guests.
My family and I stayed in room 7, which had a double and 3 twins and was on the second floor over the entrance. I note the location of the room because it was a huge factor in our experience. The hotel is on a busy street and the windows are not very soundproof, so we could hear traffic all night. Half of the hotel is used to host events, such as dances or wedding receptions. We could hear thumping bass till late at night. Our second night, around midnight, partiers from the event being held began coming out onto the front sidewalk and there were some very loud, most likely drunk young people who began screaming at each other over some dispute. It continued until the police arrived about 30 minutes after the shouting began. About 4-5 police cars ended up responding. Obviously, we were able to hear all of it from our room and see all the flashing lights and weren't able to go to sleep until it all subsided. Also, the clerk was fairly rude to us. It was only his 6th day on the job, and I'd expect a bit more courtesy. The female staff were all very nice.
