Easy to find the hotel and easy parking. The room is big and very comfortable. Variety of beakfast menu and delicious. Near to Penang Sentral and Penang Bridge.
Room was big, not the cleanest. Aircond very old and unserviced. Not cold in some rooms. Breakfast was decent. Location is pretty good.

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.
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!
Not well maintained. Room was moldy and linens not clean. Apart from the hotel itself ,the "mall" nearby is deserted. You can't really buy any food nor necessity from there

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were friendly and helpful. However, the Room was not well maintained. There is stain on carpet, safe was not working, bedsheets and towels were so dirty that we need to ask them to change
The ceiling at the toilet was leaking as well.
My first room was dirty and musky. The entire 4th floor was musky. My curtains didn’t close properly leaving at least 2 feet of gap. I requested for a room change but because I booked a superior room, they only had availability on the 4th floor. So I paid 54 bucks over the counter to upgrade to a deluxe. Curtains closed this time and room wasn’t musky but the bathroom this time reeked of bleach. I checked out at 10pm the same day I checked in because I just can’t feel comfortable in the room to rest. Upon check out, the sweet lady at the reception was nice enough to ask if everything was alright with the room because I wanted to check out without spending a night and paying for an upgrade after checking in but I told her all is fine because I was already prepared to check out and there’s nothing she could have done to make me spend the night.
1 star rating for the rooms, but 5 star rating for the ladies working at reception from check-in and check-out.
