The room is extremely comfortable with lots of amenities. Main complaint is the noise. I stayed on the 13rd floor on Friday and Saturday. The motorcycle noise from the road (apartment facing a major road) is unbearable. It continued until 2 to 3am on both night. I initally thought there was a F1 bike race but it is just heavy...

"Room is as expected. No bathtub. 1 big bottle of water provided. 2 sets of toothbrush with mini tube of toothpaste. Most unsatisfactory were the big bath towels, smell terrible. As it was late at night, we just made do with the smaller towels. If driving, take note to use the ramp next to Uniqlo, it was a steep drive straight up to 6th floor for parking. Directional signs to hotel are not clearly displayed. Need to drive quite far in before we saw the hotel signage. There is a lift lobby that goes to the 7th floor reception area. Need to validate parking before driving out. Hotel guest pay discounted rate of RM6/-. Lift to the floors can be slow at times. Access to mall on ground floor."
