Oh what a day!
Janet and I went out today to 1Borneo with the intention of checking out the function rooms package at 3 of the 4 hotels there.
I was really hungry upon reaching there and suggested to Janet that we eat first. She had RM100 worth of vouchers from Wagamama so that's where we headed.
Happy were we until we were informed that in order to use the RM100, we'd have to spend at least RM200 from the sushi trailer thing @ 50% off.

As we didn't want to waste the voucher, we decided to give RM100 worth of sushi a try for a RM50 discount. Here's what RM100 worth of sushi plates look like:
Count them..... there's like 13 plates there! Finished by Janet and I.
Count them..... there's like 13 plates there! Finished by Janet and I.Yes, we did manage to check out the hotels. Here's the rundown:
Novotel - yes, they've function rooms ready for us to use. But we need to check with their sales staff during office hours if we wanted more information on their meeting package. Novotel's design is really modern and trendy. I love the use of Calla Lillies in their lobby area.
Mercure - nope. Function rooms not ready yet. I wasn't impressed with front office supervisor though. Sorry to say it but she lacked customer service skills. On another note, somehow Mercure's layout is quite similar to Novotel. Knowing 1Borneo, these 2 hotels maybe owned by the same group of people huh. Though their look may be similar, Mercure lacked the sophisticated feel of Novotel and this can be seen from just looking at the staff's uniforms.
Courtyard - yes, they also have function rooms for 25, 50 and 100 pax. The staff at the reception told us to wait awhile as they do have sales kit for us. We waited in the lobby and watched the 3 ladies at the reception counter chit-chatting away with their back facing us - very unprofessional. Nonetheless, they later did give us the sales kit complete with a promotional CD packed in a 1Borneo paper bag.
