Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Decent location, mediocre service
Airconditioning turns on and off every 10 minutes. Room phone not working so you have to go to the lobby to complain. Complained with the receptionist, says the maintenance crew will attend to my room, does not come at all. Took a 3 bed room, came with only 2 sets of pillows. Complained about this, same case, housekeeping did not come either. Thankfully only stayed one night. Staff not equipped to handle high occupancy rate. Only saving grace for the hotel is it's location and convenience. Everything else is below average.
A bit old now. But the room rate is cheap. You need a car to get around for food.

Suite - 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, 1 family hall.
1 king size bed and 2 XL single beds. Clean rooms and good staff service. Reasonable price with buffet breakfast. Good location, next to the mall and the Penang Island bridge. Swimming pool and gym facilities are provided
Medium level hotel, reasonable price, with kid's pool.
However, it is located in a deserted area. You need to get there by car (or bus). Check in procedure is long, so need to wait like 10-15 min (average time out of 4x staying there).
The room was spacious and clean. Staffs were quick and friendly. Right next to Megamall. Parking was easy. No complaints. Everything was okay. Highly recommended!
