“Staying in a converted bus is novel, and the location provides quick access to both the beach and local hawker fare; Kelvin at reception earns high praise for his service. I appreciate the intent to offer something different, even if the execution shows some rough edges; bring your own minibar snacks and be prepared for a firm check-out time.”
