Had 3 rooms book for the 27th of April, called to advise due to all of us working we wouldnt arrive until after 10pm. The man who answered the phone was so rude he told us its not acceptable and to cancel our rooms. It does state when booking this place that check in is up to 5pm however you can make a request to check in later. Obviously a LIE. Dont waste your time cant imagine the customer service if you actually get to stay is any good.

My friends who came to visit me liked it. There was no place to stay at home, so after living in different places, this turned out to be the best for this class and convenient for the location!!)) I especially liked the courtesy of the owner Ali himself!!))
