The good - Breakfast in average was good. Fried bihun was good. Check in process was smooth and very swift. Staff are friendly. Price wise is quite cheap as compared to other hotels. Great location. Parking is ample. The hotel condition is acceptable with areas for improvement. Room is spacious and the best thing was all rooms has bath-tub. Room wasn't using carpet, which is great. Air conditioner in the room was even better than most hotel I went, as the controller actually works! The not so good - The hotel is a bit run down, and most of the facilities are due for replacement. The key lock on my door was not tight. Wifi was not stable. The bath have no stopper (which they replace immediately upon request). The linen was very old, and the curtain already critically worn out and needs to be replaced. Breakfast, even it was good, can be improved. Food was being top up immediately, no one man the egg station and most tables don't have silverwares unless you request it (we come for breakfast at 9am). No plain water as beverages option. Swimming pool closed at 6pm, which is too early.

They had issues with the online system and it continued to overbook guests. We successfully booked and paid 2 weeks in advance, but was still turned away, similar to many other guests at the lobby. In the end around 8pm they managed to get us a room, but due to overcrowding, no toiletries (no towels to shower but extra toilet paper given?). There were tea/coffee utilities but no hot water kettle available. Breakfast was good with wide selection and omelette station. Overall bad experience, but appreciate the hotel trying their best to accommodate the overcrowded occupancy caused by the technical error. Will consider coming again if no overcrowding.

I'm very disappointed because as business traveler I really need WiFi. As 4 star hotel with no WiFi access it's no meaning. Better go to 1 star hotel with WiFi access with cheaper price. I have paid for 5 night already. Oh my God!
