The Granite Luxury Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for three nights while visiting Georgetown. Nice room that was very clean. Location was walkable to many things and also a quick Grab ride to anything. Only thing we didn’t know was no restaurant attached so we couldn’t order room service and no coffee! They did have tea available in the room. Filtered water dispenser on the floor. We would stay again."
