i've stayed several time at this hotel and for me this hotel is comfortable and strategic location where it's stayed near the town. There is a walkway lead to the Plaza Penang just beside the hotel. Nothing much there, you can just found Giant supermarket and a nice bookstore. I've walked to the Komtar which takes about 6min to 10min.... More
