Hard Rock Hotel Penang

The cruise ended on Wed. We checked out for Hard Rock on the day itself. 

Hard Rock Hotel was really cool and casual from the start. The upsetting thing was that they made us wait for 2 hours getting one of our rooms ready although we were informed that our rooms were upgraded from hill view to sea view!

I decided to ask for a free dinner to compensate for the delay. I learned this from watching the Apprentice. You need to ask for some extras if checking in is delayed as hotels such as Hard Rock has a reputation in the hospitality industry and the comfort of the guests is paramount.

I was glad when the supervisor offered us evening cocktails at the King's Club, a place for the privileged and frequent customers of Hard Rock Hotel.

We had simple meals of spaghetti, fettuccine, prawn fritters, poh piah, cakes and sandwiches and also ordered mocktails and fruit juices. It was as good as a dinner actually and it was on the house!

We then drove down to the stretch of stalls at Batu Feringghi to have a look. It turned out that this place also sells original, branded, fake products. Amanda and I bought 2 longchamps for RM40 plus all in. Well worth it as the longchamp bag is a foldable bag that can be really handy for travel-lovers like us!

Supper was at Mcdonalds. We turned in early as we wanted to go swimming the next day.
