DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru
Rooms are spacious and clean. Customer service are great, very friendly front desk and even cleaners at our level. The morning breakfast is impressive in terms of spread. Most Asian cuisine can be found and western too. The only draw back is its location, a bit far away from shopping malls.
