Over all the property is quite good. It had a similar design compare to Grand park city hall hotel. Layout and everything almost the same but just not as clean as Singapore. Would visit again if I’m in the area. View point is definitely the money shot for this hotel

Stayed here for 2 nights. First night we received a room for which the toilet still had urine odour. The TV was broken and wires hanging out. 2nd night they accommodated us with a new room upon our request- which we really appreciate. However the toilet odour situation was the same. Both washroom areas had build up on tile hence was slippery. The TV- it’s a cheap piece of equipment for which it responding to its TV is a hit or a miss. Given the $$ spent here and comparison to other hotels around the area at same price point, can do better.
