Good for a short stay
Pros:

The location is great if you want to stay around Mt Austin. The place is relatively clean and the staff are friendly. It's good enough for a night in JB.

Cons:

It was noisy even during grave hours. We would hear people/staff in the corridor chatting.

There was only 1 flat pillow per bed and the bed was the hollow spring type (I guess it's just not to my liking).

There wouldn't be enough space on the floor for travellers with luggage.

Pros:

For those bringing the car would be easy (theres lot of parking lot, most importantly its free. Idk if weekday how was it as i came by weekend). Overall was good EXCEPT for the iron 😂

Cons:

I thought the room was big as it looks like in the picture, but it just fit really for 1-2 ppl in a room only (i knew the room for 1-2 ppl but i really love if the room might be a little bit spacious for the movement of me and my travel partner (?)). Plus the facilities, could u just place the iron tools on every floors as it only have 2 floors 🙇🏻‍♀️ sharing iron with the whole hotel and need to iron at the lobby ? I dont like that
