Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had its ups and downs. On the positive side, the location is great, offering easy access to both Singapore and JB town, which I really appreciated. However, the rooms felt big but empty and definitely need renovations to enhance the feel. Additionally, the service could use a significant improvement as it lacked the warmth and hospitality I was hoping for.
The hotel has a great location right near City Square and is accessible to local shopping. While the rooms might need some attention, the staff was friendly and offered alternatives when we experienced slow service. The dining options were quite average, which was somewhat disappointing. Overall, it's a good value for the money, especially considering the location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is quite convenient, close to the city and popular spots, which I appreciated. However, the service left much to be desired, as the staff seemed indifferent to hospitality. The rooms were clean and spacious, but I faced issues with the heater. Overall, there’s potential here, but improvements in service would really enhance the stay.
I found the hotel to have a great location that's very convenient, but the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues in the rooms and unsatisfactory service from the staff. The rooms had some cleanliness problems, and the dining options were quite ordinary. However, I did enjoy the great view from my window, which was a nice touch.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient, close to the city and shopping areas, which was a big plus. The rooms were decent enough with a unique toilet feature, but the service was lacking since the reception staff didn't seem welcoming. Dining was also a letdown as the breakfast wasn't ready on time and didn’t have great quality. Overall, it’s a fair place, but it could use some improvements to really shine.
