This was ideal for someone who is desperate and on a very low budget. They need to improve, because the pictures are false advertising

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I didnt like anything about the place and even lost my daughter's towel and my son's nike hoodie. The manager and the owner are so arrogant, the ladies are nice n the guy that fix things around. But i wouldnt recommend the place to anyone coz it is not even a 3 star guesthouse let alone a guesthouse, it is suitable for student's rentals. The owner must just stick to that n stop misleading people by taking their money n let them stay in unbearable conditions of his apartments. The conditions are terrible.
