My experience is a mixed bag. Love the decor and old-world charm. Food from Boomer's Restaurant was great. Housekeeping and maintenance, though, should pay more attention to linens and the upkeep of the rooms, e.g. bathroom door lock and the stale carpet and smoke odor. If they do this I believe they will have repeat customers.

I was so surprised when the front desk staff asked me to make a cash payment of RM100 as a deposit. I thought, this term is not in the terms & conditions as a guest. Luckily, I have enough cash to pay the deposit. This should be clearly communicated to the guest. What if he really doesn't have cash during the check-in process? Especially if the guest is a senior citizen. Isn't it inconvenient?

The room temperature upon arrival was about 40C, the tv has 1 channel, the toilet leaked and I stepped in the puddle late at night with no light on to go pee, and they called my room at 10:47pm to advise me that they would comp me a lunch! Overall, very disappointed.

Satisfied with the cleanliness, love the antique feel and the family room design. Breakfast is nice although slow due to the ala cart and small kitchen. Reception service is ok but their knowledge is limited to within the hotel only. They know nothing outside the hotel even though it's just around the hotel within walking distance.
