So apparently, I was also caught up with the whole ‘travel frenzy’ when the government decided to allow inter-district travel recently and at that time thought that it would be a good idea to start small and went to Semporna over the weekend. Needless to say, me and my partner somewhat regretted it since the place was so congested with people and vehicles that it took us 30 minutes just to find a parking space in the main town area (more on that in my next post).
But since
we’d already booked this hotel for the night, we decided to just enjoy a more
relaxing evening indoors (plus some Foodpanda deliveries for dinner mind you).
I’ve always noticed this particular hotel as we made our way to town. And
despite looking rather large at first glance, the insides of the hotel have
limited spaces than previously imagined. The lobby area was rather small, as it
shared the same space as a dining area (but I’ve been told that they do have a
rooftop café as well that was closed during our stay). The room that we were
assigned to was pretty comfy and spacious enough, with a ceiling fan which was
nice to see (as we rarely see those in new hotels nowadays). I have no problems
with their bathroom & showers as they were working well. But they do have
very limited, fuzzy tv channels and the view that we got from our window was
that of a construction area right beside the hotel.
