Lucky Inn Hotel, Melaka

Advantages: cheap at first glance
Disadvantages: not really cheap, overall insufficient product & service quality

.../bath. Again, the bathrooms are extremely small, but kept clean and proper. Like many of the hotels themselves, the rooms are often very old and haven't been renovated in decades. Whereas other chains will completely overhaul their rooms at least every five years, Holiday Inns seems to rather keep that money for themselves.

Advantages: Good cheap hotel and excellent location
Disadvantages: Busy - but very popular

When traveling in Malacca its important to make sure you are not too in the centre of town because traffic is very bad there, so this hotel on the edge of town offers the best solution. Its a friendly place with parking right outside and this nice chicken restaurant right outside on the ground floor. The coffee shops are near by.

After that sobering thought, you would think that I might have a few things to say about Travel Inns – and you’d be right. THE CONCEPT Whitbread Travel Inns were first set up in the 1990s, in a direct move to open up the hotel accommodation market. Working on the same simple principle as American motels, The Whitbread Group wanted to provide a chain of instantly recognisable hotels, where things were kept simple, functional and cheap. The concept has been a huge success with over 300 Whitbread Travel Inns now in operation and countless competitors such as Travelodge and Premier Lodge coming on to the market.
