Very good
Pros:

Two big beds..enough to accomodate the 6 of us. Luckily we were able to check-in early because the room was available. The male reception was quite friendly, and made us feel warm and happy during our check-in process.
Hot shower was ok..but the head shower was broken.
The aircond is cool..there's a ceiling fan also..works perfectly. No problem with the room. The space is..a bit small but it does'nt matter to us as long as we still can move around, have nice n clean bed to sleep on, good water flowing to clean ourselves..so its all good to us.

Cons:

No coffee maker, no electric kettle..it would be nice if the room had those things. As we like to have coffee in the night and early morning while waiting for the others to get ready. Or make ourselves some maggie cup in the midnight. (I have a pree-teen n teenager that kept being hungry during late night. Normal kiddos growing up!)
The female receptionist isnt friendly at all..less eye contact, no smile at all. We prefer the male receptionist (dont know his name. We only met him during the 1st day of c/in).

All the best!
Pros:

Strategic location, staffs are friendly. Thank you to Miss Nora

Cons:

Room for improvements if possible: shower holder was broken, and the chain lock for the door was missing. All for safety and cleanliness purposes, other than that it's good.
