"The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms we got were big but we were disappointed that we were given single sized beds. The so called wifi system was too complicated to access that we simply give out. To access to lobby from car park was complicated especially when we have to managed with both your hands occupied."

"The hotel is undergoing major renovations (installing new lifts and other works) so is noisy and a little untidy. The bathrooms are not very clean - there is mould and soap scum build up. The toilet seat in our bathroom was the wrong size so will shift when used (and give you a shock). If you have your own transport then the next issue does not arise. If you need a taxi you need to book in advance (the day before). There is a new shopping centre (Mydin) nearby and there are other shops within...
