Pros:

My go to hotel each time i visited georgetown. Just this time i repeated here for the fourth times ! The location is very ideal, close to the city centre making it more reachable to tourists attractions. And the staffs are very assisting in finding us parking. And we will keep visiting our favourite feline living there !

Cons:

Nothing

Worth the value
Pros:

Rare to get properties with allocated parking space, although its first come first serve but they try their best to accommodate to your requests.

Cons:

My shower area was unfortunately clogged and it flooded the bathroom. The maintenance guy came and solved it, so I have no complaints about this

พนักงานบริการดีมาก
Pros:

สะอาดและปลอดภัย พนักงานบริการดี รอบหน้าถ้าไปพักที่ปีนังอีกจะไปพักใหม่ที่นี่อยู่ไม่ไกลจากตัวเมืองและแหล่งช้อปปิ้งมากเท่าไหร่ ต้องนั่งรถแท็กซี่ไปแต่ก็ไม่นาน
