Older style apartments with no guarantee of views or parking. No sound proofing and very hard bed. Not sure how you can call a room deluxe when it has a cheap queen frame bed with a rock hard mattress but here we are. Main room is large with kitchenette so it at least earns the executive tag even though deluxe is a stretch for amart style furniture. Spa in bathroom works as does the washer/ dryer combo. Location saves this place so if you are lucky enough to score a room with a view it might just be worth the $$$.

After staying for two days, you can see cockroaches every day. Don‘t you even do pest control? It’s so rubbish. The most regretful decision is to live in this apartment!! It‘s too bad!On the first day of check-in, I called more than a dozen times, but no one answered.
