"Very nice, good helpful people working here, service was great. Hotel not really suited or international travelers such as myself. If you are a local traveler in Indonesia and need a night or two near the airport this may be a good choice for you. It is close to the airport, and rooms are very affordable. The breakfast was tasty. Area was a bit noisy, but there was a detour in front of the hotel because of ongoing construction with the nearby roads. "
