The hotel is on the roadside, and the rooms next to the roadside are really noisy at night, especially the sound of motorcycles blasting the street. However, the hotel service is not bad, and the room was changed. The hotel is conveniently located, convenient for public transportation, and there are many snacks downstairs.

The WiFi is too slow, the kitchenware is a bit old, which makes people lack the desire to cook. Everything else is good.

The location is very good. There are bus stops downstairs and opposite, making it easy to go anywhere. Opposite is Shaw Plaza, where there is a supermarket. You can go to Ya Kun for breakfast. Boon Tong Kee and promoter Bak Kut Teh are also about 100 meters away from the apartment. It is very suitable for family travel. The bed is large, and there are kitchen utensils and a washing machine. In a place with this kind of climate, a lot of clothes are washed every day, and the configuration is very user-friendly.
