8.2/10 Very Good! (307 reviews)

What's good 1. Quite 2. Next to outlet but a bit distant away from the train station. 3. Offers most of the usual stuff like in room sandals, toothbrush and toothpaste and razer. What's not so good 1. Check out time is 10am and if you wish to extend to 12pm, you need to pay extra. I don't see many guest but they insist they need to clean the room. 2. Breakfast, not much varieties. You can go to the food court in outlet for your daily meals.
