We stayed for one night; the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant served good food with quick service. However, the accommodation feels dated and could really use a refurbishment, particularly the bathrooms.

the room seemed big with the tall walls and high ceiling - spacey and white. i liked the balcony area that looked onto a lake with lotus flowers in bloom (in the afternoon). we were given an early check in - Justeena called and sent a text while we bided our time at the nearby shopping centre. i enjoyed our stay there in general.

The lower section of the door jamb for the bathroom in room 5 was disintegrated, so a bit of carpentry maintenance wouldn’t go astray and was not impressed with the restaurant food. The chopped Mexican salad would be better if the ingredients weren’t mostly from a can. Otherwise, staff were all friendly and the room was really nice.
