Not worth it
Pros:

We stayed here for one night after a late flight. Considering the lobby the room was terrible. Dated, not very clean. I'm not sure how they expect 3 people (2 adults and 1 child) stay in 2 twin beds. The AC/power kept kicking on and off very loudly all night, the room had tons of mosquitoes inside when we entered. Bathroom had mold and kept flooding. Breakfast was expensive and not too good - a lot of items were finished and not replaced. The pool area is probably only good thing if you have kids. Would recommend staying elsewhere

No Hot Water
Pros:

Hotel had no hot water. Not "barely any hot water" but no hot water at all. Nothing even comes out of the hot water tap. There was no advanced notice of this.. only warning was a poster in the room once checked in and paid for.

I wanted to stay here due to the proximity to the airport, but in hindsight should have stayed in George Town area
