The right lodging we needed for a stop-over night.
Pros:

Parking in the compound. Clean, comfortable. Brief walk to the plaza, and hawker stalls. Friendly and jiffy check-in. Felt safe and we slept well.

Comfortable, and homey.
Pros:

Location was great. Next to the hawker centre and Gurney Plaza, there were a lot of food options, and convenience. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was polite and courteous and there was parking available.
