Sufficient parking
Pros:

Overall 2 out of 5. Why because room comfort specially bed too old, towel a bit smelly and expedia also need to be blamed when the booking confirmation almost ruined my trip as my date of booking confirmation not the same with the hotel. Need to be more clear about facility such as wifi only at lobby but luckily my second phone got coverage.
