"Unsafe environment and this listing is a “3rd party app” meaning that you book through Expedia but the hotel is formally listed on some obscure travel service. There is an electronic code gate. But there’s only a flimsy lock on your door. No CCTV coverage for room 6. If you’re in that room you’re vulnerable to theft or worse. One night a group of men were sitting in the courtyard getting drunk. I went out to get a food delivery and realized how rowdy they were becoming. It occurred to me...
