better go for 3 star hotel laa...a lot of 2-3 star hotel there....i went to low cost apartment last time...better than equatorial

Their service apartments sucks big time, I think you are not the first to note it... but I have always liked Equatorial... quiet peaceful and nice surroundings.

Stayed there for most of my trips, their hotel rooms are clean and comfy... well, maybe my taste and requirements aint that high but have never tried their Apartments.. maybe after so many complaints I will stick to their Hotel rooms..

Yes. The hotel is the Block in the middle where the lobby is. They also have Apartments in their second tower block as well as the rustic walk ups around the hotel.

I have stayed at Strawberry Park as well as Cool Point before but, I still find EQ to have one of the best in terms of locality and convenience. Maybe I got suckered by EQ... . And on off periods, its below 200/- per night which I think is ok. Get the hotel rooms and ask for high floor overlooking Kea Farm or Tringkap... the view is great. Just DONT get one on 5 or 6th floor above their kitchen... SIGH.. makes u hungry all the time.. .

Hey, let me explain my experiences at EQ and the bird droppings... they are guano.. BAT droppings.

Stayed there way way back on my honeymoon... so was down at their coffee house for breakfast, it was January - flies were aplenty, its their season. Our breakfast was dining with flies as well as a plateful of flies caught in glue next to us and the waiters did nothing! We wrote in to the GM to complain... PRESTO.. next day we had complimentary drinks at their Cricket Lounge as well as a fantastic fruit basket on our departure!

Many visits later... when I have kids and all, we instructed them to clean up the room before 2pm as with a baby, we need the room to be ready when we are back from our excursion, but room was not made up... there we go round the mulberry bush again... wrote in to complain.. made hell of a noise! Viola! We had complimentary cakes that we were salivating on our way up near the lift served to us.. and PRESTO.. another fantastic fruit basket to our room the next morning!

One thing I learnt. If you are not satisfied.. make hell lot of a noise. You are bound to get noticed. On my second brush with them, I actually took the letter straight to the GM's office when the Manager on Duty was just apologising and I say its lip service! The Manager was asked to apologize to us again on our departure.. (actually I felt bad for her) but... well... since then, my experiences at EQ was pretty pleasant.

never slept in hotel during all my trip to cameron.

bring my own tent n just pay RM2 per entry to the forestry department campsite at tanah rata.

it would be nice if i could slept at the hotel with the golf course view.. looks like a 4 star hotel..

there are many of them seriously
since it's CNY
expect cut throat price of accomodation, meals and also traffic jams
(mayb water / electricity shortage if u r "lucky")

anyway, u can check out apartments like
villa dahlia, star regency, equatorial, honeymoon villa, Desa Anthurium
