Pantai Inn

Pantai Inn

8/10 Good
"Location - can’t miss. 10/5 stars. The property (in my opinion) is a bit rundown for the price you’re paying. Granted, I get it, location location location. But please upgrade your rooms! A/C barely worked, if it did at all, and rooms were great for the 1990s. The staff did their best at times and the walkability was unbeatable. I just suffer paying that price for that kind of property. "
