The hotel has welcoming staff and a good location near the airport and the shopping center. The room we stayed in had some broken tiles that could be dangerous for families with elderly or young children, and it felt a bit small. The ambiance with a mix of local and international guests can feel biased at times, giving a slightly uncomfortable vibe.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfy and reasonably sized, but there was a lingering cigarette smoke smell, and they missed making up my room even though I hung the label. The location being attached to a shopping mall was convenient, but it was a bit far from the city and required taking a taxi for travel. The dining options were tasty but repetitive in offering more local Malaysian fare every day.

I must say this hotel was quite a mixed bag for me. On one hand, the rooms were a bit too dim for my liking; however, they did have a bathtub which was a delightful surprise. The service was impeccable though, with the staff politely attending to cleaning tables and plates. The location was convenient but a bit far from Kota Kinabalu City. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with some dishes being fantastic while others not meeting expectations.

The hotel is located within a shopping mall complex, making it convenient for shopping and activities. The rooms are in need of refurbishment but provide a personal space for a peaceful getaway. The service is lacking and needs improvement; however, being attached to a shopping mall is a bonus. The location is strategic for shopping but a bit far from the city center for exploration. The dining experience is mixed, with some dishes being superb but others not inspiring. The facilities are average, with room for enhancement.
