The handphone reception is not very ideal. Front desk can choose not to answer the calls.
No sound proofing. You can practically hear the guests walking pass at the corridor and guests dragging their chairs on the upper floor

No wifi at room. After reporting, the IT staff said they had changed to another company but front desk still gave us the old one. Seemed front desk didn't know what's going on at the hotel. Second, the door key didn't work twice (I just stayed for 1 nite). No F&B restaurants nearby and must take Grab for in & out....

Nice & very spacious studio suites for couple or family getaway. The room includes breakfast.
The only problem is for those light sleepers…..because there are many wild roosters around the area which start cuckooing as early as 3am

Room is decent with the basic necessity but location of the hotel is really ulu and no shopping malls within walking distance. There is also no restaurant or cafe within the hotel.

First time 3D2N stay with my 3 children. Booked last minute because last minute planning. Got this good offer from the apartment via Expedia app. Fast check in & check out. Environment is peaceful! Simple breakfast given by the apartment. Food stalls & groceries shop via walking distance.
Wifi reception was bad! Hardly got any network for the whole day! Always lagging…
1 of the plug at microwave area is faulty!
The swimming pool is sandy & below the pool was many cigarettes bud laying around.
Need to improve on these above please.
Overall, the stay is pleasant! Thanks!

Ok, but spartan and far from town
Check-in was easy. Need a RM100 deposit tho. Requested high floor, didn't get it.
big apartment. Not the one I booked though. This apartment didn't even feature on the website. I booked a studio king. This was a weird 1 bed with the living room window looking onto the corridor which I didn't like. Was also a big security risk imo as someone could easily gain entry to the apartment.
No safe inside the apartment. Also, no pots and pans to cook. Pointless to say fully fitted kitchen when there's nothing to cook with!
Just 2 plates, bowls and mugs. Not even a glass!
Nice swimming pool on the 5th floor and small gym.
Apartment far away from the main town. Walked it once but took nearly an hour.
Convenient mini mart nearby. Wouldn't recommend the Indian across the street tho. Got bad upset stomach after eating there. Be warned!
TV only through the internet, which was down for the duration of my 3 day stay so couldn't watch anything.
No bedside light which made it awkward at night time. Good Aircon and comfortable bed.

I know I’m not coming back
Location is isolated. My advice is to stay away from this property unless u are oblivious to noise and ok to deal with early morning prayer chants and rooster calls starting from ard 3am. Beds are rock hard.
