An airport transfer station exclusively for frequent travelers, AC Hotel by Marriott Penang

On the last day in Penang, I had an early flight the next day, so I moved to the Marriott AC Hotel which was closer to the airport. The so-called "closer" is only compared to other international chains. In fact, it is more than 10 kilometers away from the airport, and it takes about 15 minutes to get there by taxi. The hotel is also not very close to Old Town George, where tourists tend to gather. The hotel is located in a residential area of ​​New Town, surrounded by high-rise buildings. It has only been opened for a year or two, has good facilities and new services, and is also kind to Titanium members. There is no need to communicate in advance and you can directly upgrade to a suite. It's just that the room shape is a little strange. Looking at the floor plan, we can see that it is the protruding part of the fan-shaped building, so both the living room and bedroom have curved bay windows. There were no expectations before moving in, but there were more surprises than expected. There is an outdoor swimming pool, which is small but mostly empty. A relatively worthwhile place to visit in the surrounding area is Queen's Square, and the hotel also has a shuttle bus, which is very suitable for having dinner or strolling along the beach. Titanium members also have small benefits: happy hour in the lobby bar at 5:30 in the evening, alcoholic drinks and simple snacks. Although it cannot be used as a dinner in the evening, it is still good to pass the time. There are two clear disadvantages. One is that it is close to the main road and it is noisy with many cars at night. Secondly, there are too many steps, and there are steps connecting the bedroom to the bathroom and shower room. Some outdoor swimming pools in the public area also have two steps. It is easy to trip if you are not careful, which is very unfriendly to children. Overall, it is more suitable for hotel owners as an airport transit hotel. Booking with Marriott points is a great value for money.
