There was music playing all night and yelling all over the place from other rooms. The bed was so creaky that when you lie down on it, you can hear the rattle of metal. I don't know how it is possible but the doors are very flimsy. Do not feel safe ! Highly not recommended, for the money it is unacceptable !
