Hotel Equatorial - Penang

-
Last month, we attended a wedding reception at Hotel Equatorial Penang and booked a one night stay there. We stayed in a deluxe room equipped with Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). There's a variety of channels, including complimentary blockbuster movies on demand. You can stay whole day long in the room watching TV!

 Clean, comfy and spacious room but looks a bit old. Our room comes with a king size bed, private balcony, dressing area, high speed internet access, individual controlled air conditioning, coffee or tea making facilities, mini fridge, 2 complimentary bottles of drinking water, hairdryer, in-room safe, iron & ironing board, bathrobes, toiletries and slippers.

Spacious bathroom comes with an individual cubicle shower and bathtub. Hot shower was great with good water pressure. Hotel facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, waterfall, outdoor fitness trail, gym, cafe and barista. However, pool facility is not supervised by lifeguards. Hence, children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Guest can also enjoy the outdoor jogging trail and hiking track but at their own risk. Sunrise between 7.15am to 7.30am. Sunset between 7.30pm to 7.45pm.

Image
We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
