“While classified as a 4-star establishment, it seems that a major overhaul renovation is needed. I observed a blend of amenities aimed at both business and family travelers, including meeting rooms and proximity to attractions like LEGOLAND(R) Malaysia; however, some aspects require attention to meet expectations.”
