The owner, Hj Abu Bakar, greets guests like family and often serves homemade Kelantan snacks at no extra charge. Rooms are spacious and scrupulously clean, with ample parking, making it ideal for groups. One early complaint about last-minute cancellation stands against overwhelming praise over several years.
