The hotel is convenient for spending the night between two flights, close to shops at the airport. The rooms are adequate but need refurbishment, and the service is excellent with friendly and helpful staff. The location is easily accessible from the terminal, making it ideal for quick stopovers. The dining offers nice buffet options but could use more fresh items. The facilities are basic but satisfactory for short stays.

They even helped with luggage to the flight check-in, which was much appreciated, especially for a solo traveler like me. While some aspects were outstanding, there is room to take better care of customers.

The location was serene and restful, surrounded by trees, real plants, grass, sunlight, and occasional birds. It's great with an entrance straight from the airport terminals, ideal for air travel connections. Although late-night check-in queues were a downside, it offered a welcoming oasis in the midst of airport bustle.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms weren't properly cleaned and lacked soundproofing, they did have all the essentials I needed for a comfortable stay. The service was accommodating with special requests but had a minor issue with the cooking equipment. The location, despite being convenient and connected to the airport, was uncomfortably cold. The dining options were satisfying, especially for early travelers, and the facilities met my basic needs.

I must say that my stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms, despite showing signs of age, were still clean and had air conditioning, and the exceptional customer service from Mr Leong and the lovely ladies at the reception saved me a substantial amount of money. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the spacious rooms added to the comfort of my stay. However, there were some issues with the location, especially at night, but the convenience for early morning flights was a definite plus.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although small, were clean and well-stocked, perfect for families. However, the fitting of the windows was poor. The service was friendly, especially in the restaurant which offered good basic food, but there was a lack of cooking pans for certain dishes. The location, just a 5-minute walk from the airport, was convenient for an overnight stay before catching an early morning flight, but service and facilities seemed neglected. The dining options were okay, with a decent variety, but lacked personal attention from the chef.
