Seems unreasonable, but do let us know how it all turns out if you decide to go this route.

As I’ve said, I’ve always had luck calling the corporate platinum/titanium line and having them sort things out with the property directly. Should that fail however, yes I would remain in my room until 4pm and the hotel can deal with it however they want to.
