Although the bus came a little late, it was still good overall. There was working AC, no mess, reclining chairs with USB port, can put bags over the head, stopped midway to eat and have a drink.

Hotel is value for money. However, was charged RM20 for a lost hotel room card key which I have never encountered before at any other hotel. This made a dent on the otherwise pleasant experience staying there.
