Service sucks. canot even provide towels, Magnetic door keys/Card keeps on jamming, toilet backed up. For a lack of better words; service sucks. If a deal is what you are looking for, this is it. You get what you pay for!

Not so Grand
The Dorsett is one of those former 4-star hotels that changed owners and got downgraded. On the surface, things aren’t too bad but as you look deeper you notice the slight disrepair, the lack of enough staff, and the ALMOST good service. Breakfast was alright and the restaurant was open late for coffee and desert. If you drive, parking is scarce so don’t stay out too late with your car. The hotel is not a bad value for the price, as long as you’re not expecting it to quite live up to the four-star rating it advertises. On the plus side, the location is quite good, within walking distance of some nice restaurants and shopping in a nice part of town. Also a very short drive to nightlife on either Gurney Drive or down by the E&O hotel in the other direction. It is also easily accessible to the Penang Bridge and the rest of Malaysia.
Traveler's tip for business travelers
Bring earplugs, the walls are INCREDIBLY thin in this hotel.
