Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: Nearby to Penang GH - walking distance. Easy to get Grab to travel to eating places. Ample parking. Room is comfortable and functional. Good water pressure. Aircond is good. Coway style water dispenser available at all floors. Overall recommended for business travelers.
Negative: Lift was slow. And the lift was not working for one of my stay days, so would be inconvenient for elderly or people with mobility issues to stay at the third floor and expected to climb the stairs. Rooms with balconies (facing the main road) can be noisy at night with traffic noises.
Summary: Great for business trips. Watch out if you have knee issues.
