The Straits Suites & Residences Johor Bahru

My stay was smooth and comfortable, and I’ve just checked out. I had some questions, so I asked Mr Alex at reception for the two gentlemen who served me so well. I really appreciate their help. Thanks to everyone, I’d definitely recommend the place.

We stayed for a few nights in a comfortable, clean studio apartment booked through bookingdt com. It was well maintained, and I had no issues. The pool was nice and the gym was usable. Parking was easy enough, with no hassle. It’s a little away from the busy center, which suited us, though still not too far. You’ll need to go out for food, but delivery is available and convenient.

The unit was spacious and bright, with two bathrooms and a large fridge. The kids loved the separate kiddie and deeper adult pools, and we had a nice view of the pool from the suite balcony. Service was efficient. There were several downsides. The lobby bathroom smelled strongly of vomit, and the unit had a sewage odor, probably coming from the washing machine drain. Wi-Fi was weak and kept dropping. The parking driveway is narrow, and breakfast wasn’t the buffet that had been advertised. There was an induction stove but no pots or utensils. The bed wasn’t comfortable, and I woke with back pain. The couch has burn marks and needs maintenance. Also, roosters start screaming around 3 a.m.

The location is the one good thing. Room service was poor, the bathroom water heater didn’t work, and only one air conditioner was working. The dishes were in bad shape, and the fan remote didn’t work either.
