The hotel has a very pompous looking reception area and offers accessibility for disabled persons. However, the rooms are a bit dark and could benefit from better lighting. The presence of ladybirds and cigarette smells in a non-smoking room can be off-putting.

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were comfortable and offered a good value for the price, especially with the double bed layout in our room. The service was top-notch, from the manager down to the concierge staff who even offered us the use of an adjacent room to maintain hygiene standards. The location was perfect, being near eateries and shopping areas, making it a convenient choice for travelers. However, the dining options, while meeting standard, felt more like those of a 3-star hotel, and the breakfast could use some improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located surrounded by commercial centers and just opposite TESCO shopping center, making it very convenient for shopping and dining. The rooms, despite being big and cozy, had cleanliness issues with hair on the floor. The service was friendly, with a notable gesture of extending a late checkout free of charge. The dining experience was below expectations, lacking healthy choices. Overall, a good option for its location and service, despite some cleanliness concerns and dining limitations.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms within walking distance to a hypermarket, ideal for a quality sleep experience. The service, although not exceptional, is available for car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry. The location is convenient for business purposes with easy access to basic essentials at Tesco and various dining options. The dining experience, while staff-friendly, lacks variety, and pricing discrepancies may arise. The facilities are satisfactory for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit disappointing with hair all over the floor, though the breakfast menu was a hit for me with delicious options like pulut with ikan masin and 'peknga'. The service, despite some rudeness, had a silver lining with attentive and polite staff. The location was quite convenient, surrounded by commercial centers and opposite Tesco, but the dining experience fell short of expectations. Overall, it was a mixed experience.

The hotel room might have molds and wasn't cleaned properly, smelling like cigarettes until 7 PM, making it feel like a basic room worth only RM 100-200. The service was a bit flustered and confusing, especially when asking to clear the table during breakfast. The location was convenient, right opposite Tesco for essentials and next to Lotus's for food. The dining experience was adequate but with little variation, resembling a 3-star hotel.
