great place , great staff and great location . Only thing is the variety of breakfast , they are great but please do some variety , meatball , chicken ball every day , even dimsum and the malay local food
Excellent hotel in Butterworth. Brand new. Very close to the Ferry and train station. Has an excellent breakfast buffet. Great facilities, with a nice pool and gym. Will definitely be back the next time I visit Penang.
Very beautiful resort in the park and by the river. Food is just average. However location of the resort is excellent. Must book the activities / excursions in advance.
Room is very tidy and spacious for two. I particularly like the wardrobe is inside the bathroom area. View is very nice can see a part of the port. Gym has limited equipments such as the cable machine and dumbbells up to 25kg. Lots of treadmills to do cardio. Staff is very nice. Breakfast menu is okay. There is a variety of food but it becomes dull eating the same things every morning. Overall will recommend this place for stay.
Brand new hotel with simple decoration. IHG hotels never disappoint me. Except the location it’s a bit far from the tourists area, other things are perfect!

The room has a strange odor that resembles sewerages. Because we only stay for one night and have to leave first thing in the morning, we didn’t complain to the management.
The hotel is new and everything is up to standard. Staff are helpful and friendly. Just the location is not very convenient, but you can always call Grab to travel/ food delivery.
Nice room, but very quiet location with little food n shopping options in the immediate surroundings.
The fire alarm went off, but the announcement could not be heard inside the room. This is a fire safety concern that needs to be looked into.
First impression not good. We arrived at the hotel, 2 porters were standing there, one helped to unload luggage from our Grab, and left them on the ground, not even took them to the lift for us. No courtesy, no words, no strong gesture to make us feel that they wanted to give us a welcoming signal.

Everything was great except the constant sewage smell coming out of the toilet. They said they will freshern up the room, but when I return, the sewage smell is still there. The whole stay was ruin by that small detail.

The breakfast was below average with stale croissants. It was promptly replaced when I complained. The Lounge on the 23rd Floor was so inadequate. Got a lot to learn from other 4-5 star hotels.
It’s a new property however badly managed. Lack of resources at the reception past 2 times, long waiting (atleast 10 minutes), only 1 person at the counter managing quite a few guest to check in, managers are no where to be seen. Technical issues with their elevators e.g. false fire alarms, malfunctioning are very common. They have funny system of QR code for free parking, however most of the time QR code doesn’t work and I’m charged 21RM for over night parking. Limited food choices. However good value for money 😅
