“The staff's warmth stands out, a welcome contrast to the somewhat dated and dim interiors. Its location puts you within easy reach of George Town's eateries and shops, and the rooms offer plenty of space to stretch out. While a renovation would undoubtedly elevate the experience, the hotel currently offers decent value given its location and room size.”
