3.0 star ratingThe hotel is located near several shopping centers, public bus stops, eateries and family. They serve a free breakfast each morning. The value of the hotel for the money is cheap when compared with the local hotels and in the USA. It has AC and TV however the channels are limited and English stations are even fewer. The receptionists and staff are very nice and helpful. The best part of this hotel is the location where you can eat at all the street vendor stalls (hacker food?)Its a no thrills hotel. Consider it as a place to shower and sleep. Bring slippers, the carpet in the rooms is old. The rooms and bathrooms are worn and in need of repair. There's no such thing as cold or hot showers... everything.g is warm. For breakfast, you should go early if you want some salad, congee or egg fools. They run out of food and are slow to replenish dishes. They do have wi-fi but you need to go to the lobby to get a strong enough signal.Rob from Sacramento05 February 2012
2.0 star ratingOh my god pls dont ever go to this hotel!!! Car parking is so dark and there is no security at all. We checked in and checked out immediately. When we saw the car parking itself put us off. I paid Rm144. no value for money. We shifted to hotel continetal and paid only Rm118 for a beautiful room. eash20 June 2012
2.0 star ratingone of the staff was receptive to queries.a great disappointment in terms of clealiness, facilities and services. Door could not be opened from outside and had to call security everytime we needed to enter the room.even though problem was brought to attention of reception. Did not have floor mats in bathroom, was not able to borrow hair dryer on first day.The usual answer was - "no more, finished already even for bathroom floor towels." Dont think car park was cleaned. If I had not paid full hotel rates in advance, I would have moved to another place. Staff do not answer phones, so its very frustrating to stay in such a place with so many negative issues.may17 February 2013
