Jetty Suites Apartments are located within the same compound as Mahkota Hotel Melaka and is just a stone's throw away from Mahkota Parade and Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall. The unit is very well kept and amenities include:
- full sized fridge
- cooking hob
- cooking utensils, basic set of cutlery and crockery
- hot/cold drinking water dispenser
- free wifi
- cable TV (Astro)
- basic toiletries (shampoo, body wash, soap)
- bathing towels
The common area can do with more maintenance but to be fair, it is not within the control of the Jetty Suites.
There is an option to borrow a local smartphone to provide a data connection on the go (hotspot tethering capable) which I recommend. Calls and messages are payable but data is free (within reason e.g. no 4k video streaming).
The staff is very friendly and helpful. As the staff is not located onsite, requests have to be prearranged e.g. housekeeping, replenishment of drinking water etc. but they have very good response times. Communication is via the loan smartphone mentioned above and calls to Jetty Suites service numbers are free. Do plan ahead and give them some lead time.
My unit has 2 bedrooms with a queen sized bed in one room and 2 single beds in the other room. Both rooms have en suite bathrooms, one with a bathtub and the other with standing shower. The apartment can easily accommodate a family of 4-5 persons easily.
