So it was with the Sheraton - and I almost decided to stay elsewhere - but a buddy of mine that had been in Malaysia a few months before recommended it and said see for yourself.
After checking in, I went up to my room to find that I had been given a business suite large room with a side office area to it. Definitely not what I had been expecting - but a huge room none the less. No problem with the room smelling musty or the hallways being that way - it was all very clean while I stayed there.
The view from the room was simply amazing, and looked out over a portion of Georgetown and the shipping channel that separates Penang Island from the mainland. The water in the channel is one of the sharpest light blue colors I have seen when the sun is reflecting on it.
The desk and door staff at the Sheraton were excellent in all regards in the assistance they gave and in the tips given on what I may want to see and especially where to go eat. The front desk staff continuously were both cheerful and excellent resources for exploring Georgetown. Do ask them if you are looking for a close in place to go and grab a bit to eat as well - they had great picks each time I tried their recommendations!

The Sheraton is a 4-minute cab ride to Penang Road from the hotel. The hotel van is also able to take you into the city for a small fee. If you are going to walk, you will most likely take Jalan Burma to Penang Road, about a good 20 minute or so walk to the intersection that will lead you to the restaurants or to the mall.

The hotel has a small shopping center next door that has a grocery store on its first floor. It makes for a great stop to stock up on water and other drinks for when you come in from the heat. There is also a book store in this shopping plaza that had some good titles on Malaysia and South East Asia in English on history, languages, and many other items.

The breakfast buffet comes complimentary and is a great spread of pastries, Malaysian, Japanese and Chinese breakfast foods. Just make sure you do not eat too much before wandering out into the hot morning sun.

Overall, the Sheraton has definitely made my list for the place to stay on my next trip to Penang. Close

Our room at the Sheraton was great—clean and very spacious. It was walking distance to the main town centre. On a hot day, the walk felt long and quite unpleasant due to the heat and the humidity. There are plenty of shops on the way with many ...Read more
