Facilities and rooms are in disrepair. Non-smoking room is filled with tobacco smell. Room is incredibly cold. Travelers also need to be warned of the SPA on 2nd floor - paid for 90 mins but ended after 55 — dishonest practice and low quality materials were used. Face was swollen for one week after that. The only asset is hotel staff.

Great Stay
Hotel is about 20 minutes taxi drive from Sepinggan International Airport. My room got full view of the sea. Hotel is about 10 minutes to the beach and many pubs line the beach. Hotel is also 10 minutes walk to Plaza Balikpapan for shopping.
Hotel Lobby is modern and check in a breeze with English speaking staff. Room is big and clean, wifi is fast. There are a lot of varieties in breakfast buffet, with local and western selection.

Good experience.
Initially the room was not very good, the shower did not work and we did not have the sea view requested. But once pointed out it was quickly dealt with and we were moved to a very nice room.
The staff were always extremely helpful and wanted to help wherever possible.
Overall a very positive experience.

Poor Reservation syatem
I had problem during check In , The hotel provided "Smoking Room" to me , even my Booking confirmation said "Non-Smoking Room" . The hotel said the room is not available !! (actually it's already 5.30 pm.. How come ?) , Finally they changed the room for me after I insisted not to accept Smoking Room ( As I 've got Allergy for smoking smell) , But this check in took me 30 Minutes .

Dirty sheets and little care about cleanliness
Not good at all. Stained sheets on both separate days I stayed. It takes a little bleach to correct these. The toilet flooded leaving faeces everywhere. Took them almost an hour to clean it.
The hotel seems not to care about cleanliness and presentation. The basics should be right. It is a reminder to the managers and Accor group to get their hotel in order. If not they should charge less because the public are not as stupid as they think.
