Good stay. Could be better

Very pleasant conference / function style hotel. Nothing really wrong with it but a bit impersonal and set on its own away from restaurants and bars. Pool was very dirty - we wouldn't use it. WiFi was slow and patchy. Bed was comfortable and shower excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fairly standard ‘business travel’ style hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. Hotel restaurant was closed for everything except breakfast, with no car this involved walking out of the hotel along the grass verge alongside a busy road and open sewer to nearest shops/restaurants.

Standard and Efficient Stay

The hotel is standard and efficient…. A good option for the price. The front desk staff are not very welcoming or friendly but maybe there was a language barrier? Although it didn’t seem to be. The room was comfortable, good AC, clean except for spot on the duvee cover which I could not tell if it was a spot that hadn’t been cleaned or a stain so we just turned the quilt around and hoped it was clean and just a stain. One flat pillow per bed but again, for the price, it is a good hotel to stay at for in-and-out of Sandakan. Breakfast is pretty lackluster but I don’t think American tourists are the target market and again, for the price, it was fine. We had congee with sugar in it and instant coffee. Overall, there is nothing fancy or service- oriented about this hotel but it was clean, efficient, and a good night’s sleep for the very reasonable price.

Phone didn’t work and they couldn’t fix it. Offered us another room. AC didn’t work and had to be reset. Room safe didn’t work and had to be fixed with new batteries. The safe was not set of bolted down and anyone could have walked away with the safe.
