Review of Shangri La Georgetown,Penang

Pluses :

Pluses :
This comes with some bias as my church Camp Committee had made it triply excellent, manning the reception and managing the logistics.
1. Location
2. Cleanliness
3. Bedlinen were well tucked-in, neat and gives a refreshing freshness after a long day
4. Spaciouness
5. Acoustics - I can't hear the showering or hairdryer as loud as I have in others' hotel rooms..esp those in China.
6. Promptness in fixing my TV on time for my does of daily cable-news updates and...WorldCup !!
7. Amenities such as shampoo and conditioner..actually conditions. Others really stiffen my hair more than take care of it.
8. Housekeeping Knocking on door instead of barging in.
9. F&B Manager onsite to lend many hands.
10. The Indian gentleman whom I had asked to keep Justin informed as to when ALL rooms will be cookie-ed , and not just some (not that I had wanted them) because consistency matters and this IS a Shangri-la property. (I had worked in the HR/Training depts in 5-star hotels in Singapore).
11. Checking-out was arm and sincere.
12. The doorman saw that I was alone on Night1, trying to get supermarket stuffs and assured me of safety and showed me the location.

Potentials
1.The Projection Screen is WAY TOO HIGH for this size of ballroom. Please check with international standards as to the height in proportion to the furthest person from the screen and potentially the tallest person's height...etc.
2. Not sure if it cost too much for my church to pay for the clip-mike, but as a vivid all-arms-legs speaker myself, the mike was a great hindrance to his para-linguistics.
3. The food is NOT great for a Shangri-la/Traders. The nasi-lemak was very un-traditional and very salty :(
4. The shower knob fell off before my roommate could get to it haha. Very un-Shangrila, yes ? :)

But I DO recommend JEN to anyone who wants a great, comfortable, convenience place. And I do thank my CHURCH camp committee for great foresight catering to a very Peranakanish-foody church-community...and for the Church Leaders to have approved this as an enviable Camp accommodation.

KUDOS to all ! Please consistently share the "SHANG" stewardship and experience ! People around will have expectations for a Marriot, a Shang, a Ritz and a Conrad the world over. Especially as Singaporeans, where the recent June12-Summit held at our "Shang", was where President Trump put up.

But I know you will listen and you will act. SHANG-ers !
