      Amazing place to stay with spacious room and great service from the staff”

      Before, this hotel had some issues with the cleanliness, staff and parking. But after rebranding from previous Promenade hotel, this hotel is totally amazing and some improvement was clearly made. The room facilities was great even for superior room. Love to stay here and surely come for our next trip.

      Overall satisfied”

      Pros: just beside Servay hypermarket and 5th floor is cinema complex, located in between Kubota and downtown. Rooms actually not as old as we think. Room is big and bed is clean and comfortable. Inside rooms have everything, just like a three star hotel. In case u driving, can park inside the mall and go to hotel lift. It's free. Cons: bath tub too old cannot use , just become a standing area to bath. Some fungus stain in toilet but still acceptable. Didn't try breakfast, tawau has a lot nice breakfast outside, it's better to try food outside.
