"The hotel room is very clean and spacious. It has all the basic needs, the room itself is all good, very good. The room rate is super reasonable. A minor weakness is the room is situated at the 4th floor, there is no lift so one have to take the stairs up, so this hotel may not be suitable for elderly who have difficulty in walking."

"Based on my observations and comparing with some hotels that I stayed before, I shared with PIC at related areas of responsibility and most importantly they listed and noted those areas that I mentioned and recommended for improvement. This means they are interested to continuously improve and become better, this energy is positive. Overall, I am glad to stay there as very conveniently located together with Siri’s Shopping Mall, I did some shopping and dine there too. In fact the in-dining I...

"AC residence isn't what you expect from your normal hotel stay. There is no hotel lobby, there is no reception as it's located on the third floor of shophouses. However don't let it fool you! We arrived after midnight due to flight delays, yet when we messaged the property, we were immediately welcomed at the door. Once inside, we were shown to our room which was pleasantly quite spacious! It was simple but yet so cosy. The room was also really clean and tidy. Getting around was quite easy as...

"Luxurious room. The only issue is that I use the stairs and discovered that all of the fire doors were open on every single floor. This means that no one would be able to escape that very large building. I reported it to the owner of my room and she said she would report it to management. The next day I went down the stairs again and all the doors were still open. Not only where the doors open there was debris on the stairs, which in an emergency people would fall down the stairs since the...
