Upon checking in at 7 pm, I found the rooms to have a slightly stale cigarette smell, most likely due to the hotel being fully booked on a Friday. The strong unpleasant odor was a downside, but the service was competent and professional. The location was convenient, with nearby attractions accessible. The dining experience was average, offering a mix of Malaysian and International cuisines.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and bad experiences. On the positive side, the rooms were equipped with a water dispenser offering hot and room temperature water, but unfortunately, my room had a strong smell, and I had to switch rooms in the middle of the night due to cockroaches in the toilet and crawling in the room. The ambiance of the rooms felt quite basic, and the choice of wall colors was lacking in warmth.
