It was great! I can spend a whole day staying in this hotel without going out. All is perfect, with complete facilities. There is also a vcd player. I don't have to go to the cinema, only buying a rm5 cd and then enjoy the movie all night. Will definitely going back to this hotel. Good services! Also, the price is so affordable. Clean and tidy. Great job! Thanks for the wonderful stay here.
