Honestly, terrible. The rooms are in dire need of urgent refurbishment. They stink! No swimming pool coz of some construction going on, no spa, no functional switches in the rooms, outdated TV sets. The dinning was excellent with good fresh food. A facelift necessary to uplift the hotel's outlook. It's like it's run down. I got to know the reason why it was the only facility with vacancies during my booking as other hotels were fully booked.

Very friendly and polite staff, and incredibly helpful throughout my stay. I should have stayed longer! The hotel was also very convenient, with easy access to my event venue next door through a connecting gate. One tip: keep your balcony door closed, or you may get a visit from the monkeys! 😀
