Pros:

Love the place. For the non halal is lively there. Better to have it in Gurney Plaza Mall for halal food .

Cons:

But not the local food.Place and food is getting worst. Especially the Pesambur Stall.The seller is very abrupt. Stall near the main road.

Pros:

I like all. Sangat dekat dengan gurney plaza mall. Just 200m je. So you can walk. No need to drive. Ada iron. But you need to ask dekat receptionist first. No deposit needed when check in. Check out pun mudah. Berus and ubat gigi je takde. Water pressure is good too. Oh by the way, you can park your car dekat property tu.
