Cassandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No Remote control

The bed just soo comfort, firm and soft. However, AC is not working, no TV remote cannot control channel or even volume.
Karbela Fathul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Crap. Nothing like advertised. Delapidated, unclean, suss activities with staff entering and leaving on electric scooters. Reception closed at 7pm and attendant seemed pissed off to be called to check us in. Even though we called ahead with arrival time. Was noisy, toilet seat broken. Shower far to hot with no water pressure in cold tap to adjust.
Carissa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I walked in to see bugs crawling around on the floor. The couch was the most disgusting thing I have seen in all my time of travelling with work. The whole facility is so run down and dirty. I walked out after 5 minutes of being in the room and found another place to stay. Do yourself a favour and give this terrible place a miss.
