This x1000, unless your plan is to party with them. Otherwise you will indeed hate your time there.

I say this as one with experience being part of the group - including 1,000 person events that basically turned the entire hotel into a party - and being someone with the misfortune to run into such groups a few times in my travels. It's one reason I avoid big convention hotels as a general rule, although it's clear you could run into a loud boozed-up event even in smaller properties that aren't traditional conference venues.
