DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely presented. I especially loved the welcome biscuit and drink, which was a nice touch. However, the dinner could be better. The food selection was quite limited, and there wasn’t anything particularly special or memorable about it."
