I found this new hotel which has only been opened for 2 months along Karpal Singh Drive that offers a great seaview from their rooms and as an opening promo, the price is very reasonable in my opinion. Maritime Waterfront Hotel is located at a strategic location where it is easily accessible from the Lim Chong Eu Highway. If you feel hungry in the middle of the night, you can just go down from your room and walk along Karpal Singh Drive to the array of shops, cafes, bistros and restaurants adjacent to the drive, such as Starbucks and Coffeesmith. Or you can enjoy a quiet walk with the gentle sea breeze blowing in your hair or use the free bicycles provided by the hotel to explore around Penang.
I booked a Deluxe suite with 1 bedroom although I really like the Deluxe suite with 2 bedroom as it has a loft overseeing the living room. But it would be a waste to get the 2 bedroom one since there is only 2 of us, so I stick to the 1 bedroom suite. I only paid Rm232, and the best thing is, upon arrival, we were upgraded to Family suite! Even better! We were too happy for words...

Although they rate themselves as a 3.5-star hotel, I feel they are 4-star equivalent. Service was good, the girl who checked us in even brought us to our room and gave us a mini tour to let us know what are the amenities available in the room. The exciting thing was the food in the fridge are F.O.C, there is a stylish and sleek kitchenette available for you to cook with a microwave oven, a pot, a ladle, forks, spoons, a knife, mugs, coffee machine and a water boiler. They also have a hair dryer, an iron, a safe, slippers and bathrobes tucked away in the closet. I love the design of the rooms and the living room, I would definitely steal some ideas for my new house... ;)

There is also an outdoor swimming pool and a small gym. Overall, the middle-of-the-week getaway was just what we needed. We just wished we could have stayed longer... Thumbs up for Maritime Waterfront Hotel! We would be back again~~
