Palace Inn

As of Sept 2016, the hotel was still under renovation. They are currently upgrading the rooms. As such, make sure you book the 'Deluxe' rooms for the newly upgraded ones. Great deal for the price paid (Room 210). Room is clean, cosy & TV channels are pretty adequate. I had a really short stay (just 24 hours) to attend a wedding. Shampoo+soap provided. Ironing board available on request. I did not check for a hairdryer in my room as I brought my own. Close to spots like shopping mall, eateries, mini marts. Easy for you to find supplies. The streets are pretty quiet in this area at night, as I was told by a local. Can be a little noisy at night as there is a cafe/bar/live band right in the hotel at the back. I'm not disturbed much by the sound. And I was very glad my room had block-out blinds. Would definitely consider coming back if I'm in Miri.

since as the comment as last review, i really go to this hotel and give it a try since really saw the new room renovated as they post online. 1st sight might think that the hotel not so tidy from the outlook, but when get inside the room its totally diffrent from the outlook. for this business trip it was good for me to stay at this hotel, the new room really make me fell comfort . im sure that i will come back again for this hotel.

This inn had no good reviews at all. Recently I saw a posting in FB that they had done some renovation to the rooms. Coincidentally I need to be in Miri for 2 nights in June. When I called to make a room booking, I was told that the newly renovated rooms' rates are slightly higher than the non-renovated rooms. I decided to try the new renovated room. When I arrived, I was greeted by friendly staff at the reception. Room allocated at 2nd floor & was very skeptical when I hear loud noise came from the lounge at the side of the inn but the staff convinced me it would not affect me. True to her word, the noise was tolerable. The room was clean & equipped with the basic necessities. As I didn't go out that night, I stayed in the room & watched tv. There are quite good tv channel selections though. The wifi strength was quite strong. I was able to watch YouTube using my iPad. The shower pressure was good. The bed was comfortable & I had good night sleep for that 2 nights. There are power point at both sides of the bed so that's a plus factor to me. There is no elevator here. It's quite inconvenient if u have big, heavy luggage. The staff are genuinely friendly but it could be better if they are send to acquire hospitality etiquettes. On my last day of staying, I was having a meeting & it dragged till almost mid day when the staff called me to remind me to check out at 12 pm. Being a frequent travellers, I find this annoying because it was before 12 pm. Management should invest in their human capital as this inn is a good place to stay. Will I be staying here again? Perhaps not. Why u may asked? The reminder call to check out was a turn off for me.
