The hotel looks relatively new, so everything's in pretty good condition, clean and the beds were comfy. The room has aircon, cable tv, toilet with hotwater and toiletries. The only problems were that there was a faint smell of cigarette smoke lingering in the room when we arrived and the room has no windows, whch is a potential fire hazard. Breakfast is also not included, but there's lots of places for food nearby.
Location of the hotel is good, there are lots of places for cheap and good meals nearby, massage centres and pubs. But because it's located directly on the stretch with the pubs, we could still hear the noise and music even though our room had no windows and the ruckus goes on till late at night! And because of that, the other hotel patrons were predominently male and I reckon Singapore or local men there to enjoy the drinking and partying.
Jusco Aeon is a short drive away, but I'm not so sure about the ease or availability of local transport. A point to note is that the hotel do not have it's own parking. They do station a security guard to watch the lots directly in front of their building, but we did not manage to get a lot there and had to park slightly further away, so if you're driving a new car, this is something to consider.
The walls are also a little thin, so it is almost impossible to sleep in if you have noisy neighbours. Overall, the staff were friendly and honestly, I do not know the going rate for a night's stay in JB. So for RM$98, I thought it was a pretty decent price to pay for the standard, but I might try my luck at other places in future.
