I recently stayed at Zenith Hotel in Kuantan and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel lobby is spacious and beautifully designed, giving a luxurious first impression.
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. I particularly appreciated the warm and polite service from the Malay staff at the reception. However, I did notice that a few of the other service staff were less approachable, which slightly affected the overall experience.
The hotel room was large, very clean, and had no unpleasant odors. It was comfortable and well-maintained, which made my stay more enjoyable.
Another big plus is the hotel's location — it's incredibly convenient. The East Coast Shopping Mall is located just across the road, and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.
Overall, I would rate my stay 4.5 out of 5 stars. With a bit more consistency in customer service, especially across all staff, it would easily be a 5-star experience.
