Staff was great. Complaints. Were poor layout of the room. 2 adults with 3 suitcases left us no room to put or suitcases out, no room to put clothes. No garb bars in shower, no non slip on shower floor made it very slippery with nothing to hold onto.

It’s a good but not great property. Clean with a nice lobby and access to lots of restaurants and shops. I would stay here again, but it’s not my first choice in George Town. My favorite thing about the hotel is that it was washing machines and dryers!
