Great stay ⭐️”
I have a pleasant stay at this hotel. Was first assigned at one of the room in level 10, unfortunately the room has some hygiene issued, so we inform the receptionist about it. Then with help from Mr. Michael, we able to change to other room in the same floor. The staff also very nice to help us to pick up our things to the next room. The next room we had was great, clean and had a great view. We really appreciate that they take complaints seriously and take immediate action. One of the problem is that, the lift from the basement parking to lobby is not functioning, so its a bit hard for us to use it because we have stroller for the baby. Hope it can be fix soon. Other than that, everything is great 👍🏻

Overall alright, can do better”
Overall the hotel is alright, but yes, it has seen better days. Hopefully management would consider doing a massive renovation to revamp not only the rooms but also the facilities. Aircon was really cold (can only adjust fan speed). TVs are probably 10 years old. Some gym equipment were not working properly. However, cleanliness is there. Staff professional. Parking was easy.

A pleasant getaway”
At first, I thought the location is going to be problem for me and my family as it is a little bit off the main town however, with GrabTaxi and GrabCar around, it takes us less than 10 mins to reach. No complains on how the hotel is being maintained and the facilities are amazing.

Value for money”
Good price for a 5 star hotel. We had difficulty checking in initially but the staff gave clear instructions on how to go about it. Room was clean and comfortable, with a great view. Decor is a bit dated and some furnishings need an upgrade

Great room and comfortable stay”
The room is spacey and comfortable, one huge bed and a nice view overlooking the neighbourhood. Good value for money, as the breakfasts were included in the price (great breakfast by the way, many options and a welcoming hall). Would recomment this stay to anybody coming to JB. Parking is easy to find around the hotel. Location is nearby JDT stadium and Johor clock tower
