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.

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.

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.
