9/10 Wonderful! (1,050 reviews)
Very close to USJ & the citywalk area. Clean rooms, staffs were friendly and helpful during check-in/out. Amenities were good - beside the usual bathroom amenities, water dispenser, microwave on every floor, coin laundry, currency exchange machine. The daily free simple cafe beverages were good too.
