love our stay!
Pros:

We wanted to get away from the city alittle but still close to the city, hence, we booked this hotel! love the bed, love the staff as well. it was a seamless check-in, check out system. the room provided to us is closer to the elevator since we brought our infant. they also installed a crib for the baby, which we didn't request - but truly grateful that they did, so its easy for me to pack/unpack whilst baby is in the crib instead of in the middle of the bed. To add, there's 7 eleven, ZUS Coffee, KFC, Dominos and a 24-hr(?) mamak place - easy for us to grab a quick bite if we're hungry in the middle of the night, or needed caffeine early in the morning.

Cons:

the aircond in the bedroom is not cool at all, but the ones in the living room is cool enough - hence, we slept in the living room instead. the shower hose burst on the second day of our stay, made it difficult to bath our baby. but all good, I hope, as I shared my concerns during check out and the staff took note

Great 3 star hotel, bad location for touristy things.
Pros:

This hotel is noted as a 3-star hotel on google maps, I'd be happy to call this a 4-star. Although lacking in additional amenities like pool and a larger lobby, the unique industrial theming is well done throughout the lobby, dinning and rooms. Staff was friendly and the breakfast buffet was nice too with a mix of local cuisine and western.
They did have ample free parking though, which was good.

Cons:

Major downfall would be the location, which felt a bit far away from major touristy things, even with a private car.

overall good
Pros:

I like the overall amenities. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast feels like a bit repetitive. Maybe the choice of deserts could be change..

Cons:

The breakfast
