Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a mixed bag with clean and tidy rooms, but some breakdowns persisting at 5 pm. The service is commendable, although preparations upon arrival could be better. The location offers easy parking and surprises like a cinema and shops nearby. Dining is tasty but with limited variety. Overall, it's a viable option with its ups and downs.
The hotel seems quite new and accommodates necessities nicely. The location is excellent, providing easy access to restaurants and even a cinema, making it a good spot for a staycation or travel. The dining includes Moroccan pancakes, and the common pantry offers many freebies, although the breakfast could start a bit earlier. However, despite being near many eateries, the hotel is nowhere close to any airport.
I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient location of this hotel, being close to Sungai Petani town area and with easy parking. The rooms, however, had some breakdowns and were not soundproof, but the service and facilities made up for it. The dining experience left a bit to be desired, but overall, a decent stay considering the value for money.
The hotel has some issues with the rooms, but overall, it offers decent value for money. The service is satisfactory, and the location is convenient for both staycation and traveling. The dining experience is average, with room for improvement in choices. The facilities are acceptable, considering the price point.
The hotel offers a nicely arranged room but the smell of smoke from outside was a downside due to guests smoking near the pantry area and the 'availability' function not being turned off during booking. The location is superb, being very near a cinema, mall, and plenty of restaurants, ideal for staycation or travelling.
