We booked a deluxe 2-bedroom apartment at residence for one night. Hotel and residence receptions are separated with different entrance in walking distance. For residence, the entrance is located next to the DOME cafe. You can walk to the Gardens mall through the door next to the DOME (near ISETAN department store).

The receptionists were nice and checking in and out were smooth. We parked at premier zone and the parking ticket can be validated at flat rate (mine was RM5 if I have not mistaken). Can park at zone B and U as well. It's better to drop off big luggages in front the lobby before parking as the lifts there are slow and always crowded. Quite inconvenient for hotel guests as there is no reserved parking and no guidance on how to walk to the hotel from car park.

The apartment however is really old. The air conditioner is not cold enough while the controller is old design without screen. Both rooms are spacious (master room with extra large double bed and second room with 2 single beds). Both rooms have one bathroom each although the low quality shampoo and body shower provided really disappointed me.

The best thing of this hotel is that you can walk to the Gardens mall and midvalley mega mall in few minutes anytime you want. Good for people who want to shop as long as you don't mind paying more for an average hotel room and spending a lot of time to find a parking space especially on weekends.
