I saw in their website they have a family suite.


Do they have guarded car park or is it off street parking? My biggest concern is on parking, worry about safety issue.

Our plan is to visit Penang but going to have a stopover @ Ipoh to split up the journey.

I know which hotel you usually stay in Penang?

Vevey:

We usually stay at 3star Regalodge. Cheap & good for a nite pit stop but no connecting rooms. Lobby just renovated last Dec..not sure if they will reno the rooms. Next to it is higher class Tower Regency. There's Impiana but slightly out of the town & of cos, Excelsior in the thick of actions.

From Ipoh, can go to Cameron Highland, Pangkor Island, Penang etc...within 2-3 hrs.

Didn't book family suite at Regalodge b4. Rooms r sparsely furnished but can squeeze in a bb cot & our own single-sized air mattress. Complimentary mini-bar.

Limited open air parking within compound but there is roadside overnight parking next to it (won't get summons w/o coupons, as hotel has some kind of understanding w the local authority) & the security guard assured dh that he would petrol that area too.

We usually stayed in Bayview Beach Resort in Penang but if u hv teenagers, they would love the Hard Rock Hotel right next door.

We stayed at Syuen Hotel. Parked at the hotel’s basement carpark with security. Within walking distance to the famous Dim Sum & Ipoh Parade Mall.


We booked with them directly - their no view promotion room at RM109. It is Simple and clean. Old furniture but we dun mind as long as it is clean.
