Nice room, but very quiet location with little food n shopping options in the immediate surroundings. The fire alarm went off, but the announcement could not be heard inside the room. This is a fire safety concern that needs to be looked into.

Good value for money if you are OK to compromise

It’s a new property however badly managed. Lack of resources at the reception past 2 times, long waiting (atleast 10 minutes), only 1 person at the counter managing quite a few guest to check in, managers are no where to be seen. Technical issues with their elevators e.g. false fire alarms, malfunctioning are very common. They have funny system of QR code for free parking, however most of the time QR code doesn’t work and I’m charged 21RM for over night parking. Limited food choices. However good value for money 😅
