nearby mall firm bed convenient location small television limited channel unclear picture
i appreciated that the hotel was next to a mall. It also was within a reasonable distance to Jonker Street for local cuisine. i found the provided bed and pillows sufficiently firm.
the television in the room was excessively small. there was also a very limited selection of channels. additionally, the picture quality was not clear at all.
