I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is quite convenient, being near the town center, but the atmosphere felt more like a hostel than a typical hotel. The rooms were decent, and I appreciated that they accommodated my request for a ground floor room, but the Wi-Fi was lousy. Overall, it was an affordable stay but not without its drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was pretty decent, near the town center, but it felt more like a hostel vibe than a hotel. The rooms had some dust under the bed and weren't as clean as I'd hoped, which was a letdown. On the upside, the staff was friendly and helpful, which made my stay a bit better. Overall, it was an okay place for a night, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was decent, being near the town center, but the rooms were not up to par with a noticeable cigarette smell and cleanliness issues. The staff was quite friendly, which was a plus. However, I was disappointed with the dining options, especially breakfast, and found the overall value for money lacking due to these issues.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The location is decent, being close to the town center and easy to find. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and I appreciated getting a ground floor room for my bike. However, there was a cigarette smell that detracted from the experience, and while the staff was friendly, the it didn’t feel luxurious or like a typical tourist standard hotel. Overall, it's a good spot but keep in mind it's more of a hostel atmosphere than a resort.

I found this hotel to be a decent value for RM100 per night, especially since they allowed me to bring my bike into my room. The rooms were simple, but comfortable enough for a short stay. The location was easy to find, although it didn't feel super strategic. Overall, it's a basic place with a hostel vibe that's spacious like a standard hotel, but don't expect luxury.

However, the location wasn't ideal as it felt more like a hostel, and we encountered some issues with cigarette smells. Also, the facilities could definitely use some improvement as they were quite basic.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was decent, close to the town center, but it had more of a hostel vibe than I expected for a tourist spot. I appreciated the friendly staff, especially the Indian guy at the front desk who accommodated my request for a ground floor room, but the room itself was dirty when I arrived, which was a big inconvenience. Overall, it had its pros and cons, making the value for money feel a bit off.

The hotel had a friendly atmosphere, and the staff was accommodating, but I did have a couple of inconveniences during my stay. I asked for a ground floor room and it was tough since we’d already unpacked our things. The location was decent, though not exactly central for tourist activities. Overall, it was a fine stay, but there’s room for improvement in a few areas.
