First up is of course the room.. Company booked the room type "Refurbished Superior Room Queen with broadband and breakfast" so it all sounds good.
When we finally reached the hotel it was pretty late at night about 11pm+... tired to the max, but still I managed to snap pics of the room :) I was greeted with this when I stepped into the room (notice the wash basin in the middle where the face towel is hanging?)
Frankly, I haven't seen or stayed in any room with this unique layout before - a wash basin right in the middle of the room :| and the first thing that came to my mind was the room couldn't have 'survived' my bf's abuse coz he'll definitely make a lot of spills while washing his face : P
Then there's the mirror cabinet hosting all the toiletries, glasses, hair dryer and the towels occupying the top rack - very clever space-saving concept indeed
Check out the toilettries.... they're all from its flagship spa chain - St. Gregory's Spa.. ooooo....
The bathroom and separate toilet.. I like hotels where they have separate bathroom and toilet - it gives much more privacy.. both the bathroom and toilet are squeaky clean and had very nice tiles, marbles and clean lines.
Opposite the bathroom is where the open wardrobe and luggage area are located.. adjacent the wardrobe there's a full-size iron board with an iron and a safe as well. There's even a full-size mirror for you to check yourself out before you step out of the room! :)
This is the queen size bed... with very comfy mattress and soft pillows... but nothing compares with Sheraton Gateway's of course :D
The desk, TV and mini bars are all located across the room from the where the bed is, with the TV on the left. But the distance is a bit too far for me though, especially when the TV screen is so smallThere is a huge sofa on the right too, which I sat on.... just for fun :) and it's very comfy too!
To its right is the mini bar which is again cleverly stashed away within the cabinet where the kettle is placed on the tabletop and the mini fridge located underneath it
The tea cups are neatly tucked away in a front-see-thru drawer (probably for fear guests couldn't find it) and here are the items stocked up in the mini fridge... Snacks, Kit Kat, beers, mineral water - but I think all of them are charged so I didn't take any of them - including the mineral water. And honestly, I doubt if they change the supplies frequently
The desk... where there's free broadband - but I didn't bring my laptop - what for? It's only 2.5 days and 2 nights anyway
The views from my room.. Morning view of Berjaya Times Square and Convention Center..
The monorail rail... 
Night view of the monorail... 
Now the second thing I lurrved about Parkroyal was the breakfast - I have to mention the breakfast was absolutely the most comprehensive and yummy one I've ever had for a looong time!Apart from the usual breakfast items, they had Japanese items like Sushis, extensive yoghurt and fruit bar, porridge station, pastries section, and the egg station is my fave coz you can order anything 'egg' under the sun! (yes, including sunny side up too)
And guess what I ordered from the egg station? Poached eggs! Poached egg is the hardest egg dish to make as it involves none other than the technique of... poaching of course! It's extremely tough to get the egg right and the chef did it perfectly well :D I never heard about poached eggs until my mom ordered it for me at the Customs House in Brisbane back in 2002 and I loved it ever since!
Third but not the least is definitely the bellman.. when we were about to depart for KL Sentral (or KLIA) after our training, it was already rush hour and just when we had loaded our bags onto the boot of a taxi, desperate to head to KLIA or KL Sentral, the bellman asked the driver how much does it cost to get us there - and upon hearing the fare, the bellman immediately alerted us that the rate is way too expensive and went ahead to extract our bags out from the boot!
Actually, we were in a way relieved too as the driver and his taxi looked absolutely dodgy and un-safe; so the next taxi came and the bellman even haggled the rate with the driver a bit before giving us the green light to board it :) both of us were truly amazed and appreciative to the bellman's gesture - thank you!
Enough about the fabulous hotel, let's move on to the hang out at night :)
After the first day of training, Simon, Jess, Adrian, Steven, Pinkgi were all kind enough to gather up and came all the way to fetch me for a hang out! After circling the entire KL city amongst the jam (coz it was raining pretty heavily that night), they finally decided to hang out at Sky Bar - the bar on top of Traders Hotel.
That's Jess' back
It was very nice indeed.. seated alongside the pool, comfy sofas, with the view of Petronas Twin Towers with all its lights lit up, practically right at your face - thanks guys for the effort and it was nice to catch up with ya all!
