This hotel was known as The Puteri Pan Pacific Hotel but since the boughtover by the new owner, which is Johor Corporation, the proprietor no longer want and need the service of its operator, The Pan Pacific Hotels & Resorts.
With this new owner, I believe that they're doing much better than before. They have upgraded the hotel's facilities, layouts, services and appearance to a better standard of a 5 star hotel. It's most probably because of some new blood in the management team and financial pump-in.
The executive lounge isn't too bad. Complimentary beverages all day long and a mini breakfast and cocktail. Of course, you can't compare it with the ones in KL or Singapore but it's alright for JB.
As for the executive rooms, it's the same as the deluxe rooms unless they're upgraded it now. You can see Woodlands in Singapore, causeway, check-point, the city of Johor Bahru and the popular government office from the sea-view rooms. Rooms and lobby are spacious. The swimming pool is nice too. The tennis court's alright but a little run down the last time I was there. The gym is not too good though but like I said, it might be better now.
Unique Qualities: Great view, facilities, location and price for a 5 star hotel.
