My advice after showering is wet, don't have a mat, there's no kettle for hot water, there's no rubbish bin in the toilet, there's no tissue on the table, if possible there's a towel, that's my suggestion and I've also stayed twice at Hotel 98, thank you.

1 The room is very clean, the air conditioner is cold, the TV is new and connected to Netflix, 1 more room is the same, only the TV is not connected to wifi and can't get Netflix, and the floor is super dusty, it looks like it's just been renovated and not cleaned, asking to move rooms can't be because it's full of sadness, but the atmosphere comfortable for a sgni worth price.

Really don't know to begin. Because once I step into the hotel lobby already feel uncomfortable at all. Counter also no people over there. Hotel lobby feel very hot. Maybe aircon broke down or what. But counter staff very fast appear and serve me. This one I feel OK. Room condition actually so so. But the bed sheet I feel not so clean at all. Because I see few short hair over the bed sheet even the pillow and the dressing table also got many ants. Overall I just feel this hotel not so clean at all. I choose to stay here because few years ago I got stay here and feel very great. Now totally unbelievable changing.

For good room facilities, a bit far to the waterfront. If the disco music is on, it's a bit noisy because the sound is strong enough to reach the room.

For those who bring private vehicles parking is difficult, if you come home at night there is no empty parking lot. The hotel does not provide a solution, it is only recommended to park in the bank's parking lot which is not far from the hotel. Please fix the parking problem & provide a card for parking in the basement.
