East Sun Hotel Sekinchan (Self Check In) — Hotel in Selangor

Stayed for one night at this hotel with my family (wife and 1-year old child). It is essentially a converted shoplot, with a relatively modern facade, well-presented outlook and a clean and comfortable lobby area||||||Room (Standard):||||The room was decently spaced with good, clean linens and a comfortable bed. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the room's overall cleanliness, especially the bathroom which was littered with lizard droppings and had obviously not been recently washed. Furthermore, the cabinet on the bottom of the sink was spoilt (it could not close); even if it was functioning properly, we would not have used it as the inside was rather dirty. Also, for some reason, the sink attracted many ants - not ideal. ||||The bathroom is separated by a glass partition and can only be covered by drawing a large curtain. While an interesting design concept, some may find it to be inconvenient and may not appeal to all. Room walls were rather thin, where outside noises could be heard quite clearly. ||||||Location:||||Perhaps the best feature of this hotel. Very centrally located and within relatively close proximity to all main attractions in Sekinchan. Many eateries and even some convenience stores (7-11, 99 Speedmart) on the same block. Ample outside parking just beside and across the hotel. Clearly visible from the main road. ||||||Staff:||||The reception staff were pleasant, competent and were very familiar with the area. No complaints.||||||Conclusion:||||Our stay at East Sun was bittersweet, as we expected a better level of cleanliness. There may be other establishments within town that might offer better value for money. Overall it was an ok stay, although I would probably not consider a repeat stay in the future. I rate this hotel as 2.5 even though Tripadvisor would not allow for...

There were 4 bad spirits that kept on disturbing me in Room 1-1 while I was asleep. They kept on touching me until I couldn't sleep at all. When I could no longer tolerate, I woke up my husband and told him to bring his pillow and shift to our friend's room instead. In there the bad spirit still followed me so I barely sleep the entire night.||||On the following day, I made a complaint to the Front Desk and I was told that they are in fact aware of such bad spirits especially in Room 1-1. I was so upset and told them that they should not allow this to happen. They should at least conduct prayer to that room so that the bad spirits will leave and will be at peace; otherwise, they should not open the room for guests to occupy.||||Worst is, the bad spirit still followed me to Kuala Lumpur. The whole night I was not feeling well and could not sleep at all. On the following day, I was totally sick and was suffering from a terrible headache; that was the time that I called on my Sifu friend to come over to my office and have me checked. Upon conducting prayers, I felt a bit better already. On that night, I was already feeling well and was able to sleep peacefully. The sifu told me that the one who followed me was an old lady.||||I plea to the management of this hotel to offer more prayers to those poor spirits so they will...

Sekinchan is now a tourist magnate and a number of hotels have sprung up to meet the need to accommodate the increased tourist arrival. East Sun Hotel is one of the,. Situated in a row of newer shop lots along the main road in town it is easy to locate. It is sandwiched between Burger King on one side and Secret Recipe another. So food is not a problem if you stay here. Check in process was fast and fuss free. Breakfast is not available as there is no cafe in the hotel. I was given a windowless room and when I queried I was told that all twin bedded rooms are windowless. This info was not told to me when I made the booking. The floor of the tiled room and bathroom felt oily and slippery. I suspect it was due to the wax used to polish the floor, it was uncomfortable to walk on barefooted.. The layout of the bathroom was awkward; the bathing area was spacious but there was no proper and easy reached placed to hang up your towel and clothes. A see through glass door and glass partition separate the bathroom from the sleeping area . For privacy one has to draw a curtain to block off the view into the bathroom. Wifi signal was painfully slow. The receptionists are friendly. No dedicated parking for hotel guests. So guests park on the common parking area in front of...
