I was contacted at least three times by phone, which felt unnecessarily aggressive and disruptive. It was as though I was being pressured to check out immediately, despite my intentions to follow the proper procedures. The final interaction with Mr. Idham at the front desk was particularly unsettling, as he addressed me in a manner that I perceived as arrogant and dismissive, implying that I was refusing to leave the hotel.

The hotel needs a coffee house or cafe for guest to have a breakfast dinner and so on. On the other hand, some tourist or guest will come and had a most pleasant stay. The rest is good accomodation.
