Perfect for the initial purpose of my visit to Penang
Pros:

Excellent location for commute to visit friends in Tanjung Tokong and to try try local food in Palau Tikus before moving to Rasa Sayang in Batu Ferringhi. Having Gurney Plaza just next door is a valuable bonus

Cons:

Not really a resort

It’s getting from good to bad and worse
Pros:

It doesn’t improve and I’m seeking for other hotel stay.

Cons:

I’m never recognise as a long term customer after so many years in Ghotel after the manager has passed on.
