Overall my family enjoy the stay, only the car park is not easy to find
Pros:

Near JB Sentral so easy for me to go back Singapore and the room is clean, the staff are very nice and responsive. They very fast to attend my request which is what I really love it.

Cons:

The car park is at the back of the hotel and need to drive a bit distance to the car park. The entrance and the car park is not link. Need to follow gps to get the car park

You get what you pay for - expensive but otherwise excellent
Pros:

Huge room - a bit too big for 1 perhaps
Great breakfast. I also had the buffet lunch 2x & it was good as well & reasonably priced
Room was quiet bar the item mentioned below
Excellent wifi
Not too far to walk to from .JB Sentral. I'm sure many people would disagree with this tho

Cons:

Price
Not much of interest in the immediate vicinity tho this helps keep the noise down I suspect
Popular with tour groups so depending on timing breakfast room could be really crowded. So I came back later. These tour groups leave early & 1 morning way before sunrise there was a bus started up under my window & it sat there idling for way too long & I never went back to sleep
