Narrative:
This is a fatigue report filed because I called fatigue on day three of a three day trip and did not complete the last two legs.I'll mention the first night [day 0] at the [hotel] (even though it sometimes appears that really not much weight is given to accumulating sleep deficits) only because the first night of this trip I was already set back in my sleep. We arrived late on friday night at the [hotel] and I was assigned a midlevel room on the east side of the building. I was awake until about xa:30 as the sounds of people and their motorcycles and cars were quite loud from the street as the bars closed and let out. I slept maybe five hours this first night; but was still fit for duty on day two.on the second night [day 1] of this trip; we were at [different] hotel. It pains me to write anything derogatory about this hotel because it is one of the finest in our system. On saturday night; however; the annual winter ball was at the hotel - and the hotel assigned us rooms in the out building; which is an older building that is not part of the main hotel property. The receptionist said; 'I'm sorry; we don't have rooms for you here in this building tonight. You'll be across the street.' immediately outside my door was the elevator doors; and I heard people coming and going until the wee hours of the morning. Worse; right outside my window was a frat house - complete with an outdoor terrace. There was a large frat party this night that went until xa:00; complete with young girls screaming; and the sounds of furniture being tossed out the windows; I kid you not. See the pictures. So I had elevator noise through my door and a great frat party making noise outside my window. I got to sleep at around xa:00 and woke at xe:00 for our pickup. I was facing a 12 hours day on four hours of sleep. Not gonna happen. I did the first leg and called fatigued.
