adequate stay
local foodshelpful staffpoor wifiold towels
the breakfast offered many choices. i saw local foods like roti canai and fried rice on different days. the staff were helpful at the front counter and in housekeeping.
the wifi connection in the room was poor. i could not get a connection even when it showed as connected. also the bath towels looked old. they weren't as white as towels in other hotels.
i found the room clean. all faucets and plugs worked. an iron with an ironing board was available in the room.
the sound proofing was not good. i could hear sounds from the road. i could also hear other guests talking in the aisle.
