    The spacious Deluxe King Room offered a comfortable stay, although the soft pillows weren't to my liking. The refurbished areas felt nice, but the gym and pool needed updates to match the overall quality.

    noisy floors

    Decent stay with great breakfast

    Had a decent time here. Location in George Town is super convenient. Breakfast had a good variety and was actually quite tasty. The room was soundproof, which helped block out any noise from outside. Only downside was that the wooden floors made it a little noisy from upstairs. Overall, not a bad choice!

    crowded lifts
    limited parking

    Proximity to Komtar, accessibility to 1st Avenue malls, walking distance to Penang Road

    Check-in process took longer than expected!!! Elevators frequently crowded, especially during peak times!!! Parking space feels limited, difficult to find a spot!!! Strongly suggest enhancing lift etiquette awareness among guests!!!
