the view from our room, nearby restaurants, location is wow. spacious room but at 3am onwards I don't know who switching on/off the stand lamp repeatedly 3 times. that's not a big deal for me, I feel entertained.

A bit slow upon check-in due to their system was down. We came from our long flight (15 hours journey), that's why feel a bit tired.

We love that our room got upgraded and facing the sea/Singapore. The room is huge + bathtub. I think previously was a connecting room but they decided to make one room as a living room and kitchen. The swimming pool was well maintained. The area is near all good food from the mamak, kfc, Lazy Monday, goreng pisang etc

At night when we switch off the lights in the kitchen, the cockroaches came out crawling everywhere.

The location is quiet and not many traffic.

The breakfast spread was good but the breakfast area was small and crowded . It was difficult to move about from the food area to our table. There goes the rules of social distancing.😅

Bed comfortable, view beautiful, wheelchair friendly, breakfast is sufficient, easy to city centre

Swimming pool very dirty, full of dried leaves and not maintained. The tiles were broken, the stair to the pool are not in shape, few steps are gone and not enough to facilitate swimmers to go off from pool; lift to the carpark is old and make sound when closing

Spacious room. Good view and location.

Pool only open until 5pm. Water greenish and not so clean. Need to pay breakfast for child starting 3 years old, but the hotel not even provide options for kids like milk, cereals and porridge. So what for pay for small kids when they have no choice for breakfast? Most of other hotel only charge for kids 6 years old and above with variety of choices for breakfast.

Location and the view, room is also bigger than normal.

Found too many cockcroaches (tiny ones) at night, everywhere in the room and toilet. I asked for a spray but they do not have it.
