This location absolutely delivers. I am Hilton Diamond member so please do not expect 5star hotel here, but if you are looking for a quite, centrally located, clean and friendly place, this is it! Raya - lovely front desk girl was absolutely gorgeous and helped me tremendously. Hotel did not have room available for one more night so Raya helped me find room at nearby hotel. Strongly recommend this place!

Not a complete kitchen one big pot no small saucepan or frying pain no toaster A effort to find the wifi password why couldn’t they leave a small card with it on ? Unfinished wires out of the walls timber near the washing machine cupboard, it would have been handy to have information on how to use the washing machine and oven
