Great place to stay with nice pool and good breakfast. Bell sound of the elevator in the hall close to our room was the only thing up for improvement.

Surely will stay in this hotel again. The room is clean & comfy. The staffs are friendly & helpful too. Breakfast can be improve and services are good anyway. Kids enjoy the pool and nothing that we need to complaint about. Keep up the good services!

10/10

Only spent one night but I found this hotel very good. They wanted to upgrade us to their best room, but gave a weird look when we requested twin beds. That gave me a chuckle. This hotel would be one of my top choices to stay.

Breakfast buffet items get changed every few days or so, that way it's not always the same food to pick from, which is nice. We had a minor issue with our room and the hotel offered us a different room late one night. Very good hospitality!

Great service. Only the toiletries is not refresh / change if you stay 3D 2N. This can be improve. Overall service, room, breakfast are 5 star

Best hotel to start the year 2024! The service was great. The staff were super polite and friendly. The room was vast and I added with a rollaway bed without any issues - still very spacious. There’s free breakfast too. Near shopping complex just this one focused more on electronic products. Not something tourists will want to buy. Haha. Overall, I will stay in this hotel again. ❤️
