Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru
My go to hotel for a JB staycation, room is clean and considerably well maintained, staff is efficient at check in counter, would have loved to swim in one of my favorite hotel pools in JB but it was spoilt by huge family groups fooling around in the pool, probably wrong timing it’s New Year’s ...

LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort
the location is perfect!! the room is small but it has enough space for sleep. If there is dining table, it would be perfect. Kids can play with LEGO at the hotel lobby, which is awesome.
