unsafe area loud screaming

the staff kindly kept our bags after check out, so that was acceptable.

The area felt unsafe at night. there were constant fights outside the hotel and loud screaming occurred between 4 am and 8 am. i felt really scared, so i changed my flight and left early. It was not good.
