Our stay at Holiday Inn Glenmarie last May

Ravi had his annual Universiti Malaya reunion held at Holiday Inn Glenmarie at Shah Alam.  Sarah and I tagged along.  We drove to KL right after work on a Friday late afternoon and reached the hotel around 9:30pm.

My husband booked a month in advance for a room with balcony.  A very strong musty smell greeted us when we opened our room!  It was bad enough to trigger allergy for my sensitive companions.  Both father and daughter were coughing and sneezing the whole night.  The next day, we opened up the balcony doors to air out the room.  We complained at the reception desk but we didn't smell any significant difference when we got back that night.

The hotel common areas was recently refurbished.  We liked the airy lobby with a classy yet traditional feel.    Breakfast fare was good, with enough variety for the two times we dined there.  The pool has a kiddie area which Sarah enjoyed very much.  If not for the room's musty smell, we would have nothing to complain about of this hotel.

Sarah loved the big armchair. 
The balcony is one of the biggest I've seen!  It looks out to the golf course

This was a nice touch on the pool towels.

Marbles as toilet countertop, good recycling effort.
