"Hotel itself was very clean, staff responded fast through message so we could enter in with code, the actual room it's safe as someone would have to go through 2 coded doors and a locked door or climb 6 stories, the outside was definitely on a sketchy road people were staring so make sure to look at your surroundings and the people at ALL TIMES."
