central hotel stay
strategic locationeasy accessmusty smell
the hotel location is very strategic, giving easy access to many places. i could easily reach the historical area, convenience shops, restaurants, malls, and even the police station (all were very close).
the toilet had a musty smell, and the water pressure seemed low, maybe due to the higher floor. the air conditioning started leaking during midnight, really inconvenient.
Rooms

the family room was spacious and clean. the room location was away from busy foot traffic, so it was quiet. coffee facilities were available, but tea was not.

The location is very strategic. Malls, shops, and restaurants are just steps away! Parking is also provided, a huge plus. I found the receptionist's information about the hotel offering newly renovated rooms from January 17, 2025, especially exciting (I'm thinking of returning!).
The pillow was a little too flat for my liking.
