This is another series of pictures I took during my stay at Seri Malaysia Genting Highlands. The hotel is actually situated at Gohtong Jaya, halfway up the resort city and just before reaching Awana. Gohtong Jaya is where visitors can take the cable car up to the peak. Bus ply between the cable car station and Puduraya at Kuala Lumpur daily.
Seri Malaysia Genting (SGM) , I think is the only hotel in its chain that has lifts to service all the three levels. I had meals at SGM since is was provided by my host and it is kampong style, something different when we talk about hotel food. I give a 3 out of 5 for taste. I am not sure of variety when they serve buffet, but on my table I consider they have varieties and there are food that I did not taste. It is either hidden behind the rotating tray or just does not tick my appetite.
I just don't know why Seri Malaysia's maintenance is not that good. I've had an experience where my friend stays at Seri Malaysia in JB and the shower will be flooded everytime he take his shower. And here at SGM, its the hotwater tank (?) that is not well kept. In the room where I stay my wife was surprised when all of a sudden the hot water on top of the showering area overflowed and it is exactly over the shower. Luckily no untoward incident happens and if any one of us were unlucky we, would have been scalded by the hot water. (See the picture attached)
Hot water overhead overflows if the heater is switched on and guest forget about it. I am sure housekeeping or maintenance staff realise about it since there are bloat marks and a hole in the ceiling. Maybe they are going to wait till accidents happens then only get it repaired. This is in room 336.
SGM also provide Broadband Internet Access but I consider it expensive at RM 5.00 per hour and just imagine if a guest is weak in Mathematics, they have calculated the answer for two hours of usage. A budget hotel in Tawau, Sabah (North Borneo Hotel) provide FREE streamyx in every room. A three star hotel in Miri provide FREE Broadband WiFi access and can be reachable even at the 9th floor.
Broadband Internet access is considered basic needs nowadays and hotels should provide it as part of the room facilities.
Photos above and below are row of shophouses at Gohtong Jaya where Seri Malaysia (above) is situated.

Restoran Nasi Kandar Genting has some rare cuisine. It is open 24 hours and situated next to Seri Malaysia Genting. They have Roti Nan, Sadni, Ayam Tandoori and Capati. Errrr....what is sadni? Hmmm, I had guess the answer but just to confirm I asked one of the waiter what is SADNI? Well, of course I had guess right. Its Roti Sadin.

Very good read, Zach! The lack of a good broadband access is very dissapointing. I think I wouldn't be able to survive without a dose of high-speed internet connection at least once a day!
