Since I had multiple trips to Kota Kinabalu this year, I had
somewhat forgotten about my personal ‘me time’ that I actually had back
in June. It got somewhat overshadowed by my other KK hotel posts that I’d totally forgot to post this earlier. Well, better late than never right?
So this time around, I’ve decided to try out a hotel that is
nearer to the town area (due to my laziness in driving around). Although this
wasn’t actually my first time patronizing the hotel over the years, it was
however the first time that I’ve taken some pictures of said premise. The
location is as central as it can get, being right in the middle of the ‘hotel
row’ in Fajar Complex and just a few steps from various banks, convenient
stores, laundrette, eateries and even a Milimewa Superstore. My check-in was
uneventful and I was quickly assigned a room on the second floor, overlooking
the back side of the area. The room was spacious (even more spacious than most
rooms that I've been given before) but it was fully tiled (so it's strictly no carpets
people). The air-conditioner might have taken its sweet time to cool off but
other than that, I think everything else was fine. It was pretty telling that
the hotel had passed its prime (what with the not-so-new furnishings) but then
again, you are in Tawau (where the quality of accommodation might not be up to par). Nothing notable about their showers and bathroom other than it also
took sometime for the hot water to finally be well… hot enough. But honestly, the
comfort level for this place was higher (in my humble opinion) than some of the hotels within the same row (which I’ll probably feature
in the near future).
My personal ratings are as follows…
Type – Superior
Room
Room – 4/5
(spacious even for a ‘superior’ room)
Price – 3/5 (pretty
reasonable in my books)
Service – 3/5 (the
staff during check out was friendlier than during check in)
Décor – 3/5 (I
actually like the wooden based furnishings)
Facilities – 3/5
(there was this seminar going on about the same time as my stay so…)
Location – 4/5 (it’s
the classier looking hotel sandwiched between Prince Hotel and Monaco Hotel)
