They provide adequate parking for visitor. The parking got guard at night. Service overall is ok. They never fail to cleanup our room. We have been staying here about 5-6 day. The hotel is very clean and nice art work in the wall. There are laundry and mcdonald's restaurant and 7-eleven nearby. The price is very reasonable and worth your money.

Hotel is quite convenient, as lotus is next door and food is a plenty around. Room is small, but ok. But floor was dirty with clumps of hair here and there. Overall, is ok. Good hotel, not spectacular, but for short stays, is ok. Receptionists are ok and quite friendly. Recommended.

Cons: the room was ok but the bathroom got unpleasant smell like urine. And the shower part is clogging. Pros: got nice view-housing. Really close to the eateries-family mart/pizza hut/mcdonalds/kfc/lotus market/pelita nasi kandar, grab ride from Sungai Nibong terminal only RM5 (not peak time), weekend got pasar malam in front (chinese).
