The air con can go from cold to normal room temperature then cold and normal room temperature again throughout the whole day,especially at night. But i like the hotel's location,checking in and out hassle free. Hotel's breakfast is nice though it's always the same food everytime i visited. Staffs are very friendly,always do their best to explain and help if guests have any...

"The hotel is a comfortable as any other holiday inn would be , however it wasn't value for money for two reasons. 1. A few staff were not at all polite.. restaurant staff, while there were some good front end staff who tried their best within their limited expertise. 2. It was an extremely bad hot and humid environment. There was no point in going out"
