“Georgetown's city stay”
Central beside malls, supermarkets, street food, restaurants and bars — mural street walkable too — Jen Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La is a good-sleep stay guests return to: a bigger-than-imagined spacious clean quiet room, a good breakfast and restaurant, excellent strong-aware polite service with no deposit demanded at check-in, a spacious comfy lobby with live singing, easy taxis and a small guarded clean-water pool. Two nits: the bathroom runs small, and check-in only starts at three.
