I liked the standard of cleanliness and maintained but was greatly disturbed by the noisy from the neighbourhood between 9pm to about 11pm. My first 3 nights but the last night was free of noise. The staff were friendly n happy to help only if they are requested. I can use the property again.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience here. I was even accused of taking a towel, which was later found to be present in my room. This has been a frustrating and unpleasant experience, and I feel mistreated. I regret coming here and will make sure to share my concerns with others.

It's a place for someone who is on low budget. The apartments are nice and clean but the sorounding area sucks. I would recommend for someone on a shoe string travel budget. Its worth it. The place has great security they have 24hr security guards. Access is strictly controlled. That made me feel very secure.
