I wasn't so nice. The night before a 50-mile run, the college girls in the neighboring room were loud and obnoxious (as they should be!) til the early morning. I called the front desk, but that didn't help. Let's just say when we got up at 5:00am the next morning, I wasn't particularly quiet either!
Regardless, the quality sleep you need is two or three nights before the race. I doubt that many people sleep well the night before. Hope the went well :)

I have had issues with loud neighbors(at school or hotel) when I have had to get up the next day.
I have gone over to the neighbors an tried to ask them to be quiet.
Sometimes it works and you can offer the reward(6 pack etc)
On the occasion I knew it wasn't going well, I played along and had a beer and mingled for a little.
Then I went off to the bathroom, opened the top of the lid and dropped off an 'Upper Decker'
(once I did the deed, another time I was able to unload a very full litter box)
I left the party quietly.
I went back to bed with a smile, getting the little sleep I could. ;-)
Seeing the plumbers truck the next day was sweet!

Lol, Beads that's hilarious. I can't believe you really upper-decked someone. Priceless.
at least you didn't have to up the ante to the role of Phantom Sh###er. Although, I thought that was the direction you were going w/ the litter box.

Note to self, don't ever tick off beads...
To the OP, hope the trail run went well.
EDIT: OK, just read your race report. Nice work.
so trying to be nice, I go up and ask them to pretty please turn the bass down so it can't be heard on the moon, or the floor below, where i live. I explain i have to wake up at 5 AM.
"why are you getting up in 5 hours"
"a race"
"oh the indianapolis marathon, my friends doing that"
"no this is just 30 minutes away, its a trail run"
"oh you run through the woods, how fast can you run a mile"
"i don't know, i never run just one (thanks anton!!)
"well how far are you going tomorrow"
"32 miles"
"HOLY SHIT... HEY GUYS THIS DUDES RUNNING 32 MILES IN THE MORNING SHUT THE MUSIC OFF AND LET HIM SLEEP" etc....
i've never been that blatant about my hobbies, i tend to just keep it to myself. but in this situation it worked wonders. oh yeah, one did ask me to come up and play beer pong... i took a rain check!
