"The most important thing is that the hotel is very, very safe for a stay. You can even stay for months. 24-hour security present. The old white skinny man at night is very good, humble, and modest. Other staff members are also good. AC was good. Huge parking Lot. Towels, bed sheets, and the toilet were clean Note:- The internet was slow. There is room for improvement for the TV and the internet. Thank You."

"Overall this was a decent property. Property does need a little TLC however. The sink in the 2nd bathroom was not working and the sink itself was damaged. It was raining while we were there and we woke up to water dripping from the ceiling of the upstairs bathroom and standing water in the basement. We ended up leaving a day early."

"Great little place not far from downtown. Clean apartment and a comfortable bed. Daughter slept on the couch and said it wasn't too bad. Everything worked as expected with no issues. Can hear people walking up the steps from time to time but overall pretty quiet. Took some time to find a parking spot but not the host's fault. Overall a great experience and would stay again."
