Hotel has had alot of improvement since the last time I visited this hotel.”
Breakfast is okay although it would be nice if you have more variety such as western breakfast instead of just sticking it Asian food (I understand that you have a lot of Chinese tourist since a group of them checked in during the period I was there). Your front office staff were very accommodating and friendly.

The staff behind the reception desk were good they helped me book a tour for the same day. The staff during the breakfast buffet were very welcoming and had great customer service. The pool is nice and often quite as most people staying are with tours so they do not utilise the pool.

Clean hotel with a nice back garden”
This was my 3rd time staying here. Ample parking space and quiet area. There’s a walkway to go to Karamunsing Plaza which is just across the road from the hotel.The Sacred Heart Cathedral is just 15minutes walk from the hotel. I love the small garden behind the swimming pool and the mini trail pathway next to it.breakfast buffet was nice as well, nothing fancy but enough to fill my tummy.the room is clean n comfortable.toilet/bathroom is clean and comes with toothbrush kit.really enjoyed my stay and will definetely come back the next time i go for my cross-border roadtrip to Sabah.

It was a great hotel. I would totally stay here again. The hotel decription does not do the park grounds and pool area justice. We were hesitant to be so far from the waterway but in the end we were very happy with the decision. Loved having breakfast looking over beautiful natural hillside rather then other buildings.
