a decent place to sleep

great locationgood staff servicefast check inoutdated ac systempoor ventilationsmall room

the location of this place is great it is near jalan besar mrt station. there are many restaurants and eateries nearby so i had no problem finding food. the staff service was good and check in was fast and clear.

the central ac system seemed outdated to me i could not regulate the temperature as i wanted. the ventilation in my room was poor so the air felt stagnant. the room was also quite small and dark.
