Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Below expectation

The unit was a 2-storey unit, large enough for my family of 7. Most appliances were old, the toilet at lower floor was fitted with a loose sliding door. No one dare to use it because the gap is too big. Toilet at upper floor had urine smell. It could be due to the carpeted toilet floor. Pillow case was dirty. Car park was cramped, narrow bend, and extremely bad for minibus, especially when others some dies not parked in their lot.

It is a three star motel. I do not expect brand new. I do expect cleanliness, courteous helpful staff, and everything working as it should in the bathroom and kitchen. I was not disappointed. The seats and bed were very comfortable. Excellent.
