What's it like living next to Palihouse Hotel?

Noisy valet service right outside my bedroom. It's open beyond the allowed hours of 7am-11pm.  Doors and trunks slamming, and engines running at all hours of the day, night and very early in the mornings. Valet guys talking loud to each other, guest and on their phones all day/night long. Cars double parking on the street and blocking the alley. Valet causing dangerous hazard because its on the corner and the cars block the vision of other drivers who can't see the pedestrians. Valets driving too fast to drop off cars and bring them back. Increased number of cars parking on the street making it even more impossible to park. They give their parking passes to the employees. Massive increased number of Guest coming and going at all hours of the night. Guest coming in late drunk and yelling and pounding on the front door to be let in. Being woken up every night multiple times because the guest are unconscious of the fact that they are in a residential neighborhood. They built a patio directly below my bedroom window with 16 seats right outside my bed room window. The guest use the patio as their personal office space and talk very loud on their phones. Food has been served on the front patio so i have a restaurant below my window. And because they are outdoors mothers let their children run around screaming in the patio/front garden area. It was a beautiful lush quiet garden for the 13 years that i have lived here. They destroyed the garden and pulled out all of the beautiful trees and bushes so now the sound is amplified because it bounces off the building and creates an echo microphone effect. Large groups are out on the patio outside my bedroom until after 11pm. Last week a large group was out there for several hours drinking beer all were incredibly loud as if they were in a competition to be heard. Massive increase in deliveries very early 5:30 am and late 9pm in the alley. They have NO delivery dock because this building was not built to be a full service hotel. Everything was done in house before and they had no food service before. With the addition of a restaurant they need more deliveries. I have heard them planning for weddings. And they also want a liquor license for a Lobby lounge Bar so they can host parties and events. That is when the real nightmare will begin. This was a beautiful, quiet and peaceful place to live. Now it is a busy commercial zone to accommodate tourist who do not care about the neighborhood or the people who live here. They are paying $350-$1500 per night and have the attitude that they can do whatever they want for that price. And apparently they do. The first guest review they got complained about how noisy it was. Think about having to live in it every night. They have destroyed my home and a LUCE protected neighborhood. Oh ya and the smokers standing out front and around the valet are my very favorite part. The fresh aroma blowing into my home makes for a toxic nights sleep. Really love that part.
