Should noise complaints arise and one warning has been issued, once the second (final) warning has been issued the uncompliant guest will be required to cover the disturbed guests’ room and tax for that night. If noise issues continue, the uncompliant guest will be required to leave the premises of Sparkling Hill immediately.
