Disliked: Cleanliness
Honest opinion, this place is not worth the money you pay. The only reason why we chose this place was due to the convenience because it was just within the southkey midvalley mall. But after my second stay, I’d never come back here again. I’d rather stay at other hotels instead and drive over if I need to do any shopping. The bathroom is just so bad. Dirty, smelly and the things are either spoilt or rusty. Super poor upkeep of their bathrooms. One last point, their lift lobby can be quite congested due to the high traffic stay in this hotel.

Good stay!

Stayed here a few times mainly because of the location.The room is also spacious but this time round the safe box in my room wasn’t working. I would say.. the security/ bellhop service team were helpful and friendly. When one such staff saw us alighting from our car with shopping bags he quickly opened the door and helped us with the bags all the way till the lift, even held the door open ensuring we got in safety. Breakfast buffet restaurant always busy in the morning - the team was good but they seem overwhelmed at peak hours. The buffet area should be be expanded as it’s a bit narrow when there’s so many people. Overall it’s a good stay. Highly recommend.

Value for money, good for short stays

It was a nice stay, overall it is value for money. At first glance the room is spacious and clean. The space is well lit, there is even a mirror in front of the table, so that basically serves as a dressing table + work desk. The room does not provide water, but a sanitised flask that you can fill water with at the corridor (+1 for eco-friendliness if you are into that). That said, there are some signs of some wear and tear - scratches/scuff marks on side tables, brown grime on the shampoo/soap bottles, ceiling wallpaper starting to peel, small dye stains (?) on the pillowcase and bedsheet (i.e. the sheets were not completely white - we did not alert housekeeping as we didn't think it was a major cause for concern). Late night we noticed mosquitos in the room and I was getting bites. Called room service for insect repellent/mosquito patch if they had one, but the housekeeping attendant arrived with a room spray (I read the bottle label). He didn't seem to understand what I needed but insisted that it's what I asked for. Gave it a few spritz anyway LOL and he took the bottle back Walls are thin. Could hear other guests kids screaming and shouting in the hallway early morning. Lobby was crowded during check-in and check-out. There was some waiting during check-in but check-out was very smooth. I found the front desk staff to be very helpful and prompt. Would recommend and return but prolly bring mosquito patches and request for quiet room haha :)
