The first thing that hit us was the greyness of the bedcovers and the towels. It is high time that these were changed for new ones. This was a non smoking room, but the smell of cigarettes was coming through - not sure where from - could either be from the aircon vent or from the windows which was shut. Had to sleep with our masks on. Windows were not soundproofed so it was pretty noisy being at the front facing the main road and a busy junction.

Not Bad. No to the basement carpark

Overall good location and decent room with a very good price. Only complaint is the basement carpark. Do not park at the basement as it is very narrow and you risked scratching your car. There are parking lots available beside and behind the hotel. The hotel receptionist should have informed this instead of asking me to go to the basement carpark. Else everything is good

Location is ideal, easy access to food joints, shopping & some attractions. Hotel is along the main road & the noise is disturbing, especially at night. Closing the toilet window helps.
Downside is the poor maintenance & limited housekeeping. Toilet is badly designed; whole toilet floor gets soaking wet & request for extra floor ignored. Also hardly any space around the sink to place personal stuff..very inconvenient.

The mattresses were sagging in the middle and they wanted to charge an extra fee for the fourth pillow. Also, despite asking for a quiet room we were allocated one with a window facing the petrol station, which was noisy through most of the day and night with motorbikes, lorries and cars revving into the station. There was also the smell of petrol wafting into the room and corridor. Disappointing. However, the room and bathroom were both clean and spacious.

Value for money basic hotel

Price is good for a 3 star hotel with good locations in between the night market and road side hawker stalls. Room is big. However, with limited socket points for charging phones and tablets. They do not replenish toiletries nor that small piece of soap. Make sure you have your own supply. Nothing much to complaint as it was really value for money if u just want to sleep. Oh ya, door and window are not sound proof at all. If u r a light sleeper, forget about staying in this hotel. Compliments must be given to the security staffs who managed the car park. They did a good job and very hard working. We felt safe to park the car there though car park is really limited.

I like the price initially and location until I checked in and noticed the following: Cannot make phones calls from room. Common carpets on the floor I stayed needed replacing. No bath soap or hair conditioner. No paper pad or pencil/pen. Older tv in room. Older mattress, towels, pillow case and sheets. Minimum towels provided (no face or hand towels provided). One side of wall in my room is painted green. Hotel is starting to be dated.
Hotel did provide 3 bottles of soda/pop (and coffee packets) and 4 bottles of water. However, I don't drink soda/pop. I had to cut short my stay 1 night (Firefly flight cancellation) and the Hotel tried to accommodate me part way and so I appreciate it a lot. The staff are friendly.

Great location. Hotel is near shopping mall and well-known eating places.

Responsive: Iron and ironing board was already delivered to our room before we reached it, even though we requested it only during check-in.

Stayed for 4 nights. Housekeeping was not attentive and not thorough. For example:
1) Toilet roll was finishing but did not replace with a new roll (even though we tried putting the near-empty roll on the vanity counter the next day to highlight the need). The housekeeper merely removed it without any replacement!

2) Did not replenish shower gel when we have almost used up the small bottle.

3) Housekeeper did not notice the \"Do Not Disturb\" sign that we put up. She opened the door and tried to enter the room while we were still inside. Maybe she confused it with the \"Please make up room\" sign. Would suggest that the hotel give the signs different colour codes to help its staff differentiate the two.

The hotel map was excellent showing what was nearby. As the hotel on the main road I would suggest to ask for a room at the back if road noise bother you. The hotel is only 4yrs old so everything is still in very condition
