Waste of money, rather go elsewhere.
Not so good,
Shower very tiny sacred to move around in shower because one side soap dish taking unnecessary space, shower door very difficult place, the main door of bathroom don't close no privacy at all. Aircon making noise couldn't sleep, staff loading inside the passage making loud noise, talking super loud and disturbing guest, when you enter hotel no one is sitting in front sometimes have to wait. Overall not good.

Too much TLC needed
Though about big name but nooooo not of that standard. Was expecting the feeling of woe but was totally not happy. The brand name don't match with the quality.

I expected more. I was very disappointed. We had 1 towel in our room, the tv wasn’t working, the bed was broken.
It was a very uncomfortable stay. I couldn’t wait to check out.
VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
