Clean modern hotel with efficient and helpful staff. Hotel facilities were really good. The free shuttle to the night market was also a bonus. Well positioned for access to George Town by cab but far enough out to feel calmer and more relaxed. Good eateries within walking distance.

I like the decoration, cleaniness, service of the hotel and politeness of hotel staffs. I like it facing the sea and the hotel is walkable to good reviews eating place along the sea front. It is also connected to a 2nd storey high shopping mall in which not much of food options. I dislike shampoo unable to retract from the container and the staff of house keeping did not repair/ change it. I also dislike the traffice flow in that area because the area tend to have traffic jam when returning to the hotel.

Good location on Gurney Drive. Hotel has high quality fixtures and fittings. Hotel staff could do with more training in being able to answer questions clearly, providing better service, and more attentive to guests' needs. Breakfast was a huge disappointment - very poor quality and service. Overall, good hardware, poor software (staff)
