Good value for money if you are OK to compromise

It’s a new property however badly managed. Lack of resources at the reception past 2 times, long waiting (atleast 10 minutes), only 1 person at the counter managing quite a few guest to check in, managers are no where to be seen. Technical issues with their elevators e.g. false fire alarms, malfunctioning are very common. They have funny system of QR code for free parking, however most of the time QR code doesn’t work and I’m charged 21RM for over night parking. Limited food choices. However good value for money 😅

今年二月先開嘅酒店，以為佢樣樣都好新，但房間清潔一般，房間冷氣好大，吹到個頭成晚都瞓得唔係咁好，同埋好多唔知係唔係變壓器嘅聲好嘈，瞓得麻麻。洗手間唔算好大，浴室開門成日撞到個花灑頭，整體一般。酒店附近沒有什麼餐廳或便利店之類的東西。 早餐可以吧
