Orkid Inn Hotel (Mahkota Cheras) — Hotel in Kajang Municipal Council

Traveled to Malaysia for work, which entailed driving to Hulu Langat and Broga. Business partner suggested staying in the Makhota Cheras/ Singai Long area here to avoid the typically bad traffic just a bit further up the road going into and out of KL. The hotel was decent. Felt like it was 2-3 years old judging from the luggage scuff marks on the wall. Stayed in a superior queen room. It was clean and sufficiently roomy, had a desk but lacked any drawers to put your clothes in. Ended up using the bed stand. Bathroom was ok. Had one of those electric heaters that heats water as you shower so you have to shower with low water pressure to get it nicely warm. The free breakfast was toast and an egg.

However, the shocking thing is that he put the filter directly into the toilet bowl and cleaned it there. He did not hold above the toilet bowl but put it directly in it. Furthermore, the carpets in the room have been stained and the smell of cigarettes were...

Was there over the weekend and only wish I could have spoken to a better person. Front office staff hardly could understand English and broken Malay. The explanation was totally out of Malaysia. Wonder why Hotel staff employed especially Front Office unable to communicate in English. It was like talking to primary school kids. Told the Front Office staff to give me the hotel owner but was refused. Not being racist but looks like the majority of the staff employed is local Chinese and Foreigners from Bangladesh, Room was very average with Housekeeping need to improve. Will think few times in future to check in...
