Rooms were large and in good condition. My only complaint is that the floor had an external Air Conditioner unit at the end of the hallway and was exceptionally noisy, to the point I made a complaint and was able to change rooms. If staying it would be a good Idea to request a room at the opposite end of the hallway.

Hotel appears to have had a recent refurb though it feels a bit cheap, like a Bali hotel. Room was big and comfortable, buffet breakfast was pretty solid.
