Of course, we did enjoy the good location - ithe hotel is located attached to a shopping mall and it was easy to go back to the hotel to feed the baby.

In fact, everything was fine until the evening. We entered the lobby at 10 pm and immediately noticed the prostitutes on call. My friend's husband was waiting for us in the lobby for a minute or two, and during that time was offered sex twice.

I was very conservatively dressed but got grabbed in an elevator. It felt like every woman was assumed to be a It felt like every woman was assumed to be a prostitute.
