Disliked: Amenities
I stay here a lot, every year, However the food and drink options in the club lounge seem to have deteriorated every year, not sure the benefits of the club lounge are worth it any more, may as well pay for the cheaper rooms. New club lounge staff have no idea of what customer service is either, they need to learn from the old hands who are excellent. Also the aircon in the apartments is almost useless, just not cold at all, they need to look at that. I changed after one night to another apartment room but the aircon was just as bad in that room too. Most days the food at breakfast downstairs was cold and the coffee from the machines was always only luke warm, I pointed this out many times and nothing was changed.

While hotel has always been my favourite whenever I visited Georgetown due to it's location to various food options and places of interest, management seems to be neglecting state of rooms and amenities. Dust is clearly visible on walls, USB ports for charging is no longer working and two treadmills in gym is not working properly. Will be looking elsewhere for my next visit since getting around with Grab is so convenient nowadays.

The cleanliness of the hotel room is questionable as I found an old slipper by the side of the bed upon walking into the room. Front desk staff wasn't very helpful in helping to arrange rides to airport and wasn't knowledgeable about tourist attractions.
