“This property is best suited for budget-conscious groups needing ample space, though its location is outside of George Town proper. While renovations were ongoing at the time of assessment, the room's cleanliness stood out. I believe its greatest appeal lies in the ability to accommodate larger travel parties at a reasonable price.”
