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.

Comfortable stay in a large, clean and quiet room. We had some small plate food in the restaurant which was very nice. Only negative is that you need to drive to main restaurants or clubs.

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.

Clean room, bed was fine, room was dated but fine. We called up to pick up a child's favourite blanket and pillow that we accidentally left behind. We were told they'd call back if found, without getting any details about name/phone number/room number/description of items/date of stay and rushed off the call. After asking to provide clarification they called back and said nothing was found. The location is convenient and quiet.
