Hotels with Gym and Fitness Centre in Gelang Patah

This is our 2nd time staying this hotel. Hotel is worth the price we paid. The location is good for those who drive and wanted to stay near to Tuas Checkpoint. Parking is free within the basement of the hotel. Breakfast spread is alright, we loved the croissant, baked fresh every time. Every level there is a water dispenser, so save us the hassle of buying mineral water. Overall a good stay.

Overall a Nice beautiful hotel but was a bit disappointed when I cannot check in on time at 3pm due to room not yet ready. The queue was so long nd took mother 1.5 hours to be given a room. This is something that really needs to be seriously look into as everyone is not happy without a room ready.

Forest City Marina Hotel is a resort hotel by the sea with a view of Singapore. The receiptionist are very polite and helpful. We checked in at the hotel on 17 October 2020 and the whole check in process was fast and took us less than 10 minutes from queuing to getting the room keys. The room is very spacious and big. It is equipped with wifi connectivity, big screen tv, a variety of tv channels, a chiller, bathrobes and complimentary mineral water. The bathroom/toilet comes with a bathtub and separate shower and the size is big and spacious. The room also have a balcony facing the seaview and Singapore. The downside of the hotel: 1. It’s located very far from JB city and after 8pm, the Forest City seems to be a dead city. 2. Some of the facilities are not open to the public(eg. Only one swimming pool is open out of the many swimming pools, facilities around the resort are limited to the Marina Hotel and many shops are closed) 3. Some of the equipment/in room facilities require repair eg. Shower head 4. Aircond is not switched on in many areas(maybe due to low occupancy) The positive part of the hotel: 1. Very friendly and polite staff in the hotel from receiption, restaurant, security guards to the housekeeping team. Good job everyone. 2. The room is neat and tidy. Sufficient towels and amenities are provided. 3. Operator/receiption answer the phone call within three rings 4. They have promotion set meal at rm20 each which is affordable.

Here are a couple of review listed primarily to focus on the condition of the room, aside from being served ”canteen food” throughout quarantine period. 1. First impression: old and not well maintained. 2. Main corridor to the room looks old, gloomy and in sad condition. 3. The room has old musty smell. 4. The aircond sounds like the engine of a bus. 5. The aircond has no remote control (in this modern era?), and you'll need to adjust the room temperature on the wall panel. 6. Doubt that the room is sanitized. Took a cloth and wiped the table tops, leaving the cloth brown. 7. There are boogers on the wall and mirror! How DISGUSTING!! 8. The bed smells.. 9. The wifi SUCKS! I cannot even retrieve emails. I'm not able to conduct work meetings and calls.

We chose apartments with a pool or beach. I had to urgently look for and book these apartments, as the previous ones were canceled 3 days before arrival. The location is as secluded as possible, as it is located on an artificial island directly opposite Singapore. We met very few people even though we were there on the weekend. The apartments have everything you need: kitchen, dishes, good mattresses, bed linen and towels. Check-in is contactless (they left the keys in the mailbox, sending us the code for the locker), they sent detailed instructions with WiFi passwords, door code, etc. The only problem was with the door to the bathroom - apparently it had dried out and did not close well, but I think this is a solvable issue.

The owner is super nice and helpful. It’s 5 mins grab ride to legoland. Also, lots of restaurants around.

Great stay experience

After all, it is a homestay, and the facilities and services cannot be compared with those of a big hotel, but it is also very good, and the cost performance is still very high. The best thing about the hotel is the view, which is really a super sea view room.

The environment is OK, there are few surrounding facilities, and the furniture in the room is very simple

all the furniture and appliances like hair dryer and water heater look like new and clean, the great view from the balcony can calm your mind
