Had an amazing stay at Promenade Hotel in Kota Kinabalu earlier in May. Got a very good rate for their Junior Suite and it was the best decision taking it up.
From the room, to the location, to the service and everything in between was simply top tier. Celebrated my wife's 30th birthday over the weekend and the hotel was kind to place a slice of cake in our room at no cost.
The room itself was so big and spacious (45 m2) with a hall and room separately, a walk-in closet and a huge bathroom with a bathtub. Only average part is the poor choices of TV channels and lack of apps to cast/play own content/apps.
Such beautiful sunset that can be seen from your room window itself, without needing to head to the waterfront area.
Also, based on the proximity of the hotel to the airport, you could so easily see planes coming in for landing from your room and as an aviation enthusiast, its spectacular.
The hotel morning buffet is really good with plenty of choices and options that caters to mostly International/Chinese-guests.
The hotel had a flatrate parking of RM5 underneath which felt a bit excessive for hotel guests but it is what it is.
Would highly recommend this hotel if you would like to see a beautiful scenic sunset daily, walk a short distance to the waterfront area for a nice night or the other direction towards IMAGO for some shopping/eateries.
