The location is opposite R&F Mall, which is at the end of CIQ bridge. The check in was smooth despite an intention to collect the MYR10 tourism tax without issuing a receipt from Malaysian government agency. The room was spacious and clean. There was a small fridge. The worst thing was that wifi didn't function and the hotel didn't seem to be active in giving it.

It all depends on you or the amount of research you do. I had a very hard time finding the place. I gave up walking and tried to find a taxi. Taxi's did not want to go there because of heavy traffic. But one driver agreed and he charged a slightly higher rate . Thats fine. I asked the hotel staff if there was an easier way to walk to the JB immigration checkpoint. He suggested using the walking bridge, and that is fantastic. My view of the hotel's location changed completely once I discovered the walking bridge. And because of this reason, I'd happy stay there again in future. When you get out of JB immigration checkpoint, find the walking bridge that connects to F&B Plaza. Just before turning right into the plaza, go straight, walk down the stairs, walk straight ahead for a few metres, turn left and turn right just after the restaurant. The hotel will be on your left.
