This is a clean and decent hotel. The staff are friendly specially hazel the front desk officer. I love that they change the towels and clean the room everyday. Although i wish their breakfast has more choices. But all in all it was a great experience. I will definitely stay again here.

The hotel stay was comfortable, but it would have been even better if there was a restaurant facility on-site. Having that option would add a lot of convenience for guests.
