In other words, rooms booked earlier are often priced at a bargain-basement rate, and as the date moves nearer, the price increases for the balance rooms. Smart travellers who book early can enjoy stays for as low as RM9.99 per night. Guests may pay by credit card, Maybank2u.com or cash. The hotel accepts bookings online, through its call centres and through walk-in.
