Muthu Oban Regent Hotel

8/10 Good

"It’s clean but looks old. Overall I think it’s not easy to find parking space. You could get street parking but depends on your luck. I wait for a short while to get a parking space. The quality of breakfast is so far so good while you can enjoy a good view in breakfast. It’s still nice"
