Travel Purpose: business
Positive: Excellent location in the city centre with convenient public transport options. Parking space is always available. Walking distance to most F&B and malls.

Exceptional service from front desk Mr Perry Fibian (special thanks for arranging the birthday surprise) and housekeeping Ms Atirah (very detailed and care taken in all cleaning / tidying aspects).
