underground suite concerns

interior designqualitybasic door locklack of tidiness
the interior design displayed attention to detail and quality.
The suite felt unsafe. The door lock seemed basic, and i noticed no front desk or other security measures. the location under a busy road added to my unease. also, the room was not tidy upon my arrival.
