The whole experience with the hotel was horrible. Strong chemical smell in the room, window can’t open and the bathroom floods every time we bath!
The lobby is new and shiny but the room is old and tired. When we entered the room, we found a note saying that the hotel is currently under renovation. If we knew it before we book, we would never choose this hotel! The aircon from the room smells horrible, full of chemical smell. To the point that the next day when we woke up, we had severe headache, teary eyes, itchy throat and very bad nausea. The shower floods after every single bath, the water got all over the bathroom floor, dripped all the way to the sink and toilet area. I almost fell down 2 times after walking out from the shower! I can’t imagine if it was an elserly guest living in this room who didn’t have a quick reflex on a slippery floor then what could have happened! (See pictures for flooded floor)
When we complained to the front desk and asked to change to another room, the lady staff told us no room available despite when I checked on trip for the exact same room there are still rooms available (see pictures for room available on dates selected). She promised to ask the cleaner to help us open the window, put some air fresheners and a humidifier machine in our room to deal with the smell. We went out for the day and when we came back, nothing changed! Window still can’t open, room still smells horrible and no air fresheners or any machine to help. It was so severe that we had to open the main door for some air and turn off the aircon. We got trip to call them to ask for room change, hotel still refused!
We immediately checked out the next day despite still having 2 more nights at the hotel. We got charged 50rm as tourism tax for all 5 booking nights despite early checkout. When I asked why I got charged the tax for 5 nights, the staff just said I have to contact Trip to ask! Hello! This tax charge is from your country and you have the responsibility to explain it! Very irresponsible reply and poor management, not expected from a 5-star hotel! I will never recommend this hotel!
