Overall very loud

Very loud neighbors and when we told the front desk, they seemed to be aware of it but not make effort to fix the situation. Above us we have construction workers who were drinking and out late on the balcony and then would be up around 6 and could hear each step and noise they made. You can hear cars passing by and cars being locked. No noise buffer
