    the location. It feels very unsafe. one of the rooms I booked had like 2 cockroaches as soon as I opened the room. I requested for a room exchange which I did get but at first they wanted me to pay for it.

    The staff was very helpful and accommodating

    You need to upgrade and keep up with the latest designs. Parking i understand your space is limited. You will have a challenge in getting more clients due to your parking.

    Affordability, your staff they very accommodating and friendly. I forgot the name of the lady who assisted us.

    I didn't like that they failed to mention the shower was faulty and only cold water came out of it. Shower makes the whole bathroom fill with water and there is no mat in the bathroom to stand on or help soak up the water splatters. The room I got from the booking was said to have a balcony but on arrival I was given a room downstairs with no balcony.

    Pleasant place, friendly staff. Very accommodating.

    They are not clean, we found the bedroom linen dirty actually they didn't clean our bedrooms. The shower was not in the good condition for first time people, the big problem we had was shortage of water. They do not prepare for their visitors.

    Their breakfast wasn't that bad, iy was just a breakfast. And their location is very perfect.

    Host inflexible with changing dates and takes long to respond. The bathroom was filthy with urine that wasn't flushed for days. Warm water too over 10min to come out of the shower. It wasn't worth the amount paid, time and distance traveled.

No bath towels provided per stay.

Water was cold in the shower for both 2 days. The location yes it was very much convenient
