Now I’m living in a hotel with some noisy neighbors.

These neighbors like to talk

loudly and sometimes argue. They also have noisy parties till late night. Whenever I try to
sleep, they shout and make noise, which is quite frustrating.
Also, these noisy neighbors have a dog that likes to bark all the time. That’s why I
can’t relax and fall asleep at night. I try to talk to them politely and ask them to stop it, but
they don't listen to me.
The hotel staff knows about the problem and apologizes for the inconvenience.
They explain that they are doing their best to handle the situation and ensure that all the
guests have a pleasant stay. However, it takes some time for the situation to get better.
Despite the noisy neighbors, I can say that the hotel itself is good. The rooms are
clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
