“Courtyard Penang's Macalister”
Courtyard by Marriott Penang is a pretty-decent clean stay — a newer business-minimal hotel on Macalister Street at the old town's edge with hawker stalls walkable and the murals and clan jetties a short ride away, a nice bed, a big spacious room with good shower pressure, high floors carrying city or partial sea views, very friendly crews, convenience stores next door, and a two-p.m. checkout granted; recommended for couples. Caveats though: one dissent calls the location mediocre — farther from George Town's main dining and sights — with a breakfast whose fruit selection felt meagre.
