Ming Garden Hotel and Residences

3.0 Orbitz Verified Review
staff was great. the place was not, out dated in need of major renovation. Not what I would expect for a 4 star hotel. Only thing four star was the price. I found like hotels in the area for about half the price that I'll be staying at during my next visit.

Hotel Shangri-La Kota Kinabalu

5.0 Orbitz Verified Review
Although hotel is not brand new, overall it is well kept and spacious. Its staff has excellent attitudes, very helpful, friendly and very welcoming. It is very conveniently located and walkable to river front, Gaya Street (Friday and weekend food/night markets) and many inexpensive local food eateries. Hotel breakfasts are good. We stayed there 2 times, 5 nights first and later 2 nights after a trip to Sandakan. We enjoyed and appreciated both stays. Thanks!
