Good reception and great staff. Worth the money in an expensive place like Singapore. However, it is an older property, somewhat comparable to motels in the US.

Unpleasant smell in the room

It would have been a pleasant stay if not for the unpleasant moldy smell in the room.

Acceptable comfort for a budget hotel. Cockroach hole near the mini fridge. Worker still came to enter and clean the room eventhough a 'do not disturb' sign was clearly hanged at the door.
