Located next to food streets, also some food establishment around. Convenient shop next door and pharmacy opposite. Definitely a very good location.

Nothing that was negative, we can walk to the town center for shopping. Surrounding area was peaceful and safe to go about your business without fear of harassment by local vendors.

Location, location, location -- right next to new lane hawker center and across the street for good economy lunch options. Another bonus I wasn't expecting is that there is an elevator so I didn't have to climb up the stairs with my heavy luggage. One other thing, when I wanted to exchange money, the hotel clerk called the money changer who came to the hotel to exchange the money. Awesome!

One downside about the room is that there wasnt a fridge. I had to buy a bag of ice daily from the convenient store nearby. Also had ants in the room.
