When you are hired you sign up to either work the 9-5 or work weekends....its no surprise nor would it piss them off.
Just speculation, staff is very thin, security acts doesn't respond after numereous requests, little proactive acts to defuse potential situations or separate group. I confess my statement is pure speculation and inappropriate.
I used to work for Marriott...and we would make a point NOT to do this, and for this exact reason. Now that i travel it is my experience that this is the exception, not the rule.
But this is also my direct observation, especially on weekends and travel during dead weeks. Why do I have direct neighboors in an otherwise empty hotel? Newspapers don't lie when entire floors and wings are empty.
Its also impossible to paint a broad brush concerning these items. I've had great staff who would go out of their way to accomodate groups and get the kids out of the halls with a free movie, VCR or room. But less than 1 in 10 weekend stays.
