The hotel is like one of those faded Queensland 3-star hotels, a step up from a motel. The rooms are decently sized, with king-size beds as reflected on Agoda's website.

I couldn't have asked for a better location for my stay. The hotel sits right next to Melaka World Heritage City and is just a stone's throw away from the new Pahlawan Mall, offering convenience for shopping and much-needed air conditioning after a day out. The rooms, though spacious, would benefit from a significant upgrade, but the service was prompt and efficient. The dining experience was delightful with a great variety of local and western dishes, making up for the minor room issues. Despite a small hiccup during payment, the overall value for money was decent at this location.
