Pros:

the location is very strategic because it is located nearby Lotus Sg Dua, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Family Mart & Laundry shop. The hotel also provides spacious free parking lot for the customer so we don't have to think where should we park our car.

Cons:

I hope the hotel will consider to provide basic necessity like toothbrush & toothpaste
