We stayed here in Dec 2004.
This hotel is not located in the town itself but near town. We don't mind the location because we drove and it is away from the traffic area. Quite convenient in terms of travelling to other area of suburb such Tambun. The rooms are clean and comfortable although the hotel building is quite old. Hotel staffs are friendly too. (While we were there in Dec 2004, the hotel staffs were out on the road in the afternoon for a few hours, to demonstrate 'strike' for several days. According to them, the hotel management did not raise their wages for a long time. I spoke to a well-mannered concierge, who is in his 40s. He told me the management did not review his salary since 8 years ago. Poor man, imagine he is the bread-winner and still survive with less than RM1,000 per month. Ironically, the workers paid for Union services every month (about RM6). Yet, the Union could not help them on this aspect. I truly felt for him and gave him a slightly more tip$ for his service...)
There is a jaccuzzi pool besides the main pool. Usually you have to pay for jaccuzi but here it is free for hotel stayer. Public are allowed to use the pool with a minimum charge too. Just be prepared to accept the very old and run-down condition of the toilets near the pool.
