Independent Lahad Datu hotels

"Here you get a small cheap room with not much nearby. Couldn’t find a beer at night. The small room was clean and the staff were nice.

The room & bed was clean and comfortable and solid WiFI was available at the eating area (helpful for those working). The in-room AC unit helps A LOT in the humid climate. The food, particularly dinner, is tasty and a great deal for the quality you get. Unlike places in more populated areas, if you're lucky, you'll see endangered species here like...
