Place was great and bed was comfortable. I had a good sleep. A lot of eateries and convenience stores nearby. Seamless check in and deposit was RM100. Staff very friendly and approachable. The only thing is that inside the room I feel the area where the iron board is and the cups and utensils was dusty. I feel the hotel can improve on this. Otherwise good stay. Will definitely stay again.
