the hotel room was hightlight of the trip and the location
Pros:

The hotel room was comfortable , had a good night sleep . the location is convenient, everywhere i want to go can be around less than 10 min and i can just walk to the gaya street market for less 5min

Cons:

my room was next to a lift so i can hear it . the room weren't soundproof . i can hear the next door opening and closing their door aswell their tv . wasnt a fan of the idea of the parking . at least the hotel provide the parking area or section for the hotel guest even if i have to pay for the parking with ssp(sabah smart parking)myself . which the hotel only provide little information of . and lastly , the hotel breakfast was a dissapoitment , although i appreciate different menu perday . wasnt much of a choices .

Egyszerű, kényelmes hotel, jó árban.
Pros:

Viszonylag központi helyen található, egyszerű szálloda, kényelmes, tiszta szobával. Minden teljesen rendben volt. Sokféle, akár meleg ételekből álló reggeli.

Cons:

A fürdőszoba elég kicsi, de egy két éjszakás tartózkodásra megfelelő.
