Disliked: Staff & service
Sampai hotel security suruh tunggu next shift staff untuk sampai kerja. Pekerja shift sebelum sudah balik atas sebab transport balik waktu malam tidak ada. Terpaksa tggu hampir 3 jam lobby untuk staff kasih check-in ke bilik yang sudah dibayar.
Location was not central but not too far. 2km from center. Room was clean and hotel was quiet. Wifi was decent and able to reach room.

Stay at Sanbay hotel, Sandakan
No restaurant, furniture old and chipped, very few food options outside the hotel, no WiFi in the room at all . We had to stand in the middle of the corridor or go to the reception area to connect to the WiFi

Budget hotel - ok for a night
Clean rooms with huge bathrooms, very quiet — this is the plus
Lingering smoking smell and no food is the minus. We got dinner in the local open air curry house a few minutes walk away. It is a local food place - really good but ‘very local’
All very nice, car parking very easy. Only disappointment for us was hotel evening meals (except Fri and Saturday) were very ordinary. But in saying that there is lots of food places around if you have the time. Breakfast was included in hotel price. It was basic with no fruit.
