great place , great staff and great location . Only thing is the variety of breakfast , they are great but please do some variety , meatball , chicken ball every day , even dimsum and the malay local food
Excellent hotel in Butterworth. Brand new. Very close to the Ferry and train station. Has an excellent breakfast buffet. Great facilities, with a nice pool and gym. Will definitely be back the next time I visit Penang.
Nice room, but very quiet location with little food n shopping options in the immediate surroundings.
The fire alarm went off, but the announcement could not be heard inside the room. This is a fire safety concern that needs to be looked into.
The hotel is new and everything is up to standard. Staff are helpful and friendly. Just the location is not very convenient, but you can always call Grab to travel/ food delivery.
Very beautiful resort in the park and by the river. Food is just average. However location of the resort is excellent. Must book the activities / excursions in advance.
Brand new hotel with simple decoration. IHG hotels never disappoint me. Except the location it’s a bit far from the tourists area, other things are perfect!

Everything was great except the constant sewage smell coming out of the toilet. They said they will freshern up the room, but when I return, the sewage smell is still there. The whole stay was ruin by that small detail.
It’s a new property however badly managed. Lack of resources at the reception past 2 times, long waiting (atleast 10 minutes), only 1 person at the counter managing quite a few guest to check in, managers are no where to be seen. Technical issues with their elevators e.g. false fire alarms, malfunctioning are very common. They have funny system of QR code for free parking, however most of the time QR code doesn’t work and I’m charged 21RM for over night parking. Limited food choices. However good value for money 😅

The breakfast was below average with stale croissants. It was promptly replaced when I complained. The Lounge on the 23rd Floor was so inadequate. Got a lot to learn from other 4-5 star hotels.

The room has a strange odor that resembles sewerages. Because we only stay for one night and have to leave first thing in the morning, we didn’t complain to the management.
