Georgetown Residence

The power keeps cutting out, and it takes a long time to come back.

For an affordable stay, this is a good option. Electricity is available 24 hours, the surroundings are peaceful and safe, and the polite staff are respectful. The rooms are fine for their prices, which are very negotiable. It’s within walking distance of the mall and park, so evening strolls are easy. There’s no gym or pool, and the food could be a little better. A good place to get away from the bustle.

There are rooms at different prices, starting from 14k at the time I wrote this. The less expensive ones are fairly nice, though their bathroom and toilet facilities feel a bit dated and could use upgrades. The pricier rooms are classy and feel worth what you pay. Breakfast is complimentary, but you have to go downstairs to the restaurant for it. The staff give a really welcoming reception, and the grounds are quiet and peaceful. There’s karaoke and a bar for anyone who enjoys nightlife, though I can’t comment on the bar since I haven’t used it. Much of the compound has tiled flooring, so be careful when it’s wet. They work hard to keep it dry, even in the rainy season, which must be quite a job. Electricity is on 24/7 too.

It’s clean and serene outside, with an outdoor “dark” bar. The grounds are beautiful, well planned, and well maintained, and it’s so quiet you can forget the rest of the world. Tropicana Mall is within walking distance, handy if you want to catch a late-night movie.
