Holiday Inn's properties in this part of the world are much more comfortable than their more pedestrian counterparts in North America. Certainly, the service is far superior, where they provide little amenities like arrival fruit baskets, mints on the pillow, and room service at rates very little higher than in the coffee shop or restaurant.
We found the room light, airy, and spacious with a wonderfully comfortable bed. Linens were immaculate. The mini-bar was well-stocked -- and kept so -- and the bathroom was spotless. No problems with water or electricity, or the telephone, despite the fact that we were in such an off-the-beaten-track location. As for the view, it was stunning, located as the room was on the 9th floor overlooking the Sepang River.
The restaurant was certainly pleasant, but the cooking was a trifle spotty: if you kept to Malaysian, Chinese, or Thai offerings, there was no problem; however, Western food was, to put it charitably, rather uninspired.
As for other services, there is a business center with Internet connection, an outdoor pool, gym, and sauna. They even provide in-room physiotherapy and baby-sitting.
Booking Suggestion:
I would use AsiaTravel.com
, where you will get a substantial discount. A quick Internet check revealed direct booking would cost US$92 for a deluxe double, while AsiaTravel's rate is only US$55! That's M$350 vs. M$210. We got it for less than that in 2000, but it's still very reasonable.
