The hotel has a decent location in Tawau, making it easy to get to food courts and shopping malls. While the rooms are okay for the price, I found the staff's attitudes a bit lacking, particularly from the senior staff. The elevator was too small for comfort, and the overall appearance could use some improvements. It's a suitable choice for budget travelers, but not for those looking for a luxurious experience.

This hotel has a decent location, close to food courts and a shopping mall, which is a plus. However, the staff service left much to be desired, with some unfriendly encounters that made me feel unwelcome at times. The room itself was below my expectations, more suited for budget travelers who just need a place to sleep. The experience was average overall, but it felt like the hotel could really improve in terms of guest interaction and room quality.

My stay at this hotel had its highlights, but overall, it felt more average than exceptional. The hotel's location is convenient for exploring local food and shopping spots, but the service from many staff members, particularly in housekeeping, left a lot to be desired, as they seemed indifferent. The rooms were decent but did not meet my expectations, especially considering the overall appearance. Still, the price is very reasonable for budget travelers who only need a place to sleep.

The hotel has a prime location in Tawau town, within walking distance to a food court and shopping mall. While the price is budget-friendly, the rooms and facilities didn't quite meet my expectations. The staff service was hit or miss, with some being friendly but others quite indifferent, especially towards local guests. Overall, it might suit those just looking for a place to crash at night.
