Disappointed

There's only 2 bath towels. No bar soap to wash your hands. There's bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. Receptionist said that they would bring extra bath towel, but did not. I had stayed there before covid time and service was much better.

The Laundry promise of same day service printed on their notifications in the room was not fulfilled. It was a false promise and created a wardrobe challenge for me. It is important not to mislead and give PRECISE time and date of delivery. In 45 years of intense global travel this has not happened before. Please instruct Gays Centre Hotel ASAP.

Very close to malls and restaurants. Hotel was clean and cozy. Staff were helpful. No Free parking (charged at RM 15 per day) if you've rented a car. As such 2 less star for the facilities.
