I was very reasonable by booking the additional rooms and voluntarily ending my party at 11pm.
The hotel offered to host my party establishing a contract and later reneged on our agreement after invites were sent, just to extort me for more money.
30+ people in the bar or nightclub or lobby is fine by me. 30+ people coming and going from a party in a room on my floor isn't!
Best of luck with this, OP. I think we all agree that the hotel set itself up for this problem with its grandiose advertising claims about being able to host a "sizeable gathering" in the room and heading for the jacuzzi when the party's over.
