Hospitality Industry Legal Risks: California Hotel Sued By Homeowner Claiming Noise From Events Has Caused Them "Pain And Suffering" And "Diminished Property Value"

“Plaintiffs have been hurt and injured in their health, strength, and activity, sustaining injury to their nervous system and person, all of which injuries have caused, and continue to cause, plaintiffs great mental, physical, and nervous pain and suffering,” said the lawsuit.

The lawsuit seeks an injunction barring the resort from generating noise that disturbs the Mendez family, such as amplified music, and unspecified monetary damages.

A Fairbanks Ranch couple has sued the Rancho Valencia Resort, alleging that noise from resort events has caused them pain and suffering, diminished their property value and violated county noise ordinances.

Angel and Linda Mendez, who live on Avenida Las Perlas, filed their lawsuit in Vista Superior Court on May 22. The lawsuit alleges that the problem has occurred since a group of investors purchased the resort, at 5926 Valencia Circle in April 2010.

“Defendants, and each of them, have occupied, used, and maintained these premises in such a manner that the sound of music, shouting and other accompanying noises generated by means of a loudspeaker, sound amplification system, public address system, or otherwise, during parties hosted by defendants, and each of them, travels well beyond the borders of the defendants’ property and into the Mendez property,” said the lawsuit.

Hospitality Industry Guest Risks: Police Arrest Massachussetts Hotel Guest For "Disturbing The Peace" After Refusing To Cease Loud Noises In Room

“…hotel security personnel stated that they had received multiple complaints relative to loud and unsettling noises coming from one of the rooms in the hotel…”

“…When told the hotel had a right to disinvite guests for bad behavior and excessive noise, the individual continued to verbally disrespect and disparage the officers. Officers arrested (man) and charged him with Disturbing the Peace…”

Officers responded to a call for a person or persons producing excessive amounts of noise at 1 Avenue de Lafayette (Hyatt Hotel). Security personnel further stated that occupants of the room were asked to put an end to the loud noises or face the prospect of being asked to leave the hotel.

Despite repeated warnings, the occupants continued to generate disturbing noises. When told they, the occupants, had to leave, the occupants told hotel security they weren’t going anywhere. Officers proceeded to the room to break the bad news to the occupants.

Upon entering the room, officers observed several empty beer and wine bottles strewn about the room. While officers were in the middle of providing an explanation as to the occupants had to leave, one individual in particular began yelling and complaining about his rights.
