The main positives of this hotel are its location and comparative pricing, as well having its own small car park. It's a relatively new hotel, offering basic accmmodation that does the job; quite clean and in good condition. There are several dining options near the hotel, with a large Penang-style

I was not comfortable with the deposit policy. When I entered the room, there was a list showing potential charges for any damaged items, and the amounts mentioned were extremely high and unreasonable.
