It's almost 6a.m. I work 3p.m. to 11p.m. at the hotel but had to stay because it's prom season & the 250 kids attending the dance took about 15 to 20 rooms in the hotel & invited all 250 up to visit them!
At one point while the dance was still going on I had about 50 of them in front of the hotel, outside. (It is now illegal to smoke anywhere in an hotel in Quebec except a smoking guest room). Some of the kids were drinking beers in public. I chased them off of my property. They went onto the sidewalk in front. Since I have no authority on the sidewalk but other guests were still complaining I called the police. 3 or 4 cars were sent. The police had been at the hotel for 3 nights now because of the graduation after parties. One of the cops starts to give me attitude. (asking me why we accept kids, like we can tell when someone makes a reservation over the internet that they are a kid). Parents even rent rooms under their names for the kids.
As the police were still in front they got a call for a noise complaint up on a floor. The guy I stayed to help & I had already dealt with 3 or 4 noise complaints. When we get to the floor the cop says to me "we don't work for the Holiday Inn & can't stay here all night answering noise complaints" I reminded him that the hotel had not called for this noise complaint, a guest must have. He continued. I got mad. I turned to my partner & said loud enough for the cop to hear " it's bad enough we have to deal with the crap from the kids, now were getting it from the cops". I walked away.
The police had to come back 2 more times. Once for an aggressive girl, whose boyfriend they arrested for assault on the police & once to help us throw out about 20 people from a room where only 4 were registered.
At the end of the night (morning actually) the cop I had trouble with told my partner, "tell your partner I'm sorry, I didn't realize how tough your job was"
