The only thing that was a big disappointment was the breakfast. We didn't include it so paid for it and it was underwhelming and expensive for what you got quality-wise. The hotel itself, would definitely stay there again.

The hotel over all is ok but the deal breaker is the WiFi. It is an open network with no security to protect anything you send over the web. We could not log in our server because it is not a safe web set up. Much better hotel options in the area with the same price range

Our stay was wonderful. Room was clean and has toiletries and slippers in case you forgot them at home. We did not have a car so parking wasn’t required but I was told that it’s difficult to find parking in Penang. On the hotels.com description it says close to shopping Center which I think is referring to Time square however that mall is closed. There are other shopping areas just a little farther away. The street where the hotel is located. The food stalls open at night and you can gets some pretty tasty food there as well as fresh juices
