The hotel is located in a very convenient location. But it was very noisy at night due to the stage performance (at the food court) besides the hotel. The sound proofing was bad too as when people talk loudly outside the room, you can hear it. The hotel definitely need some upgrades.

Good location but room IS HOT!!”

The aircond was not working properly and even though we complained to the counter staff, no repairs were made. I think the hotel management needs to service the aircond regularly and ensure that the aircond is working 100% with cold air coming out! Room is average with worn out beddings. The pillows were flat and not fluffy at all. If not because of the location, I would not have stayed there. Please improve management!!
