Many guests enjoy the spacious layout and riverside location near Alor Setar, plus reliable air conditioning and parking. However, cleanliness issues (grimy kitchen, dining areas) and missing amenities (hot water, toilet paper) have frustrated recent visitors, and hosts have been slow to apologize or fix problems.
