It is time for our family end of the year holiday.This holiday almost did not happen, what with the change of dates, timing and even venue. Alhamdullilah, it ended up more awesome than what I had initially planned. We were supposed to go to Penang but after my plans got axed, we decided to visit Legoland Waterpark and The Angry Bird Park in Johor instead, the two parks which we have yet to go. I chose to stay at Doubletree by Hilton hotel, because of its location which was situated right smack in the middle of the two attraction place.
Other than the location, the hotel also received rave reviews in Booking.com There's ample parking (parking at B1 is limited but there's more parking in Level 6-10 of the building), it is surrounded by restaurants and eateries and JB Bazaar is just about 8-10 minutes walk away.

We were greeted with this warm and yummy chocolate chip cookie upon check in :)
We stayed in the executive double room with double beds. Suitable for our family of five, with ample space for the kids to run around in.
The bathroom is clean and has all the essentials though baths are not available.
Toiletries are from Crabtree and Evelyn, which is a major plus for me :)
The bathroom is an open concept one, you can watch TV while taking a shower (but whyyy???). Don't be worried though, there's an automatic screen if you do not want to take your shower in full view of everyone.
We had room service on our first night because we were too lazy and tired to go out for dinner. The food is ok and reasonably priced. We ordered the tandoori chicken (best dish), nasi goreng (ok), and the kids spaghetti (sub-par). I do love the table tray, which made our dining experience so much more comfortable.
The room came with free breakfast. The food was tasty enough, but there's not much variety. Since we stayed for 3 days, breakfast was almost identical throughout our stay (even the pastries served was the same) However, the yummy waffles and the coffee bar kinda made up for it.
I loved the WAFFLES and the kids enjoyed the nasi lemak.
The Pool
Another plus point which can be found in the hotel is the gorgeous swimming pool. My children practically spend most of their time in the room gazing down the pool. There's an adult and children pool available. If you're a fitness buff, there's a gym (overlooking the pool) and a steam and sauna room on the 13 floor.
