In a hotel room with a loud party next door. Should I be a cop? Or should I simply kill them myself?

So kids above me in my apt building had a pretty good all nighter a few weeks ago. I didn’t call the cops because that was me 40 years ago. I played in a band and living in our apt building must have been a challenge. We were the “after bar party” kings..

If you are in a hotel, isn't the expected course of action to call reception and ask them if they can give you another room without noisy neighbors. It would be up to them to decide if it's in their interest to give you another (second) room (for free), enforce silence themselves or call cops.

Option 3, go to the front desk, calmly explain the situation and ask for an equal or better room elsewhere, failing which you will put them on blast on every social media platform in a nonstop torrent of shittalking and review bombing. Always smile. Boring, I know. Option 4, plastic explosives.
