The queen size bed is too small for our family of 3. Including a 4 years old.
Pros:

Staff is friendly and good location.

Cons:

1. The blanket has hairs
2. Initially there is no tooth brush and I have to request it.
3. We had a backache after sleeping on the bed.
4. I guess your housekeeping staff is smoker. After we requested an extra blanklet your housekeeper came and put in our room when we are not around. When we returned we could smell cigarette smell in our room.

只是从新山过路去新加坡而已。
Cons:

房间小,基本上只能住宿,设施简陋,早餐也很简单。53美元一晚在当地是否都是这种档次的酒店?

Great for short stays
Pros:

Location was superb! Super convenient to checkpoint and City Square Mall!

Cons:

Room wise can be cleaner, and to provide full service of cleaning the room and replenishing the daily amenities instead of having to specially say and then they re-stock.
