"Before booking, I saw all the excellent reviews and that it was a new building, so I decisively locked in this hotel. Then I compared prices between Trip and Agoda. Agoda was slightly cheaper, but Trip explicitly stated that a room upgrade was possible due to a loyalty program, so I ultimately chose to book with Trip.
Upon arrival that day, the hotel allowed us to check in early and even offered a welcome drink. The entire check-in process was very smooth. I asked if the room had a view, and the front desk informed me it overlooked a forest at the back. I then inquired about the upgrade cost to a golf course view room. The on-the-spot upgrade price was RM150 (whereas online it was only RM50), so I promptly gave up on that idea!
Upon entering the room, I opened the window to find a massive white wall as the view! The room design was very new and comfortable, but the pillows were a bit too high, and the soundproofing was poor – I could clearly hear other guests passing by. Even more outrageous was the fire alarm, which went off countless times in the evening (from around 9 PM until midnight), waking me up from my sleep multiple times."
