HOTEL RATING: 5.5/10
Hello, my beloved readers! Welcome back to another new blog post of mine! Well, I've been busy, busy, busy and nothing but busy, but of course, I will always put time aside to blog about the places where I've laid my head to rest. Hahaha! So, let's head on now, shall we?
Overview
So today, I'll be blogging about Nexus Regency Suites which is formerly known as BEST WESTERN Nexus Shah Alam. It is located at the borders of Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Klang and I would say that this hotel is hidden pretty deep inside. Nexus Regency Suites is rated a 4-star hotel and is a 15 minute drive away to the nearest mall that would be called Main Place, a 20 minute drive away to Sunway Pyramid- a bigger shopping mall, a 25 minute drive away to the Subang Airport, and a 40 minute drive away from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. There are no eateries or convenient shops nearby, but the closest you can get to would be a petrol station that sells cup noodles and drinks which would be a 5 minute walk away.

So, I checked-in on the 25th of August, 2016, and it was RM177 for a night's stay in their Deluxe King Room, and the price was inclusive of tax and service charge. Do note that a deposit of RM200 will be needed before checking-in, which will be returned to you after you've checked-out.
When you first enter the room, this is what you'll see; a small fitted-against-the-wall counter with cabinets where the basin, mini-bar and coffee and tea maker set would be. A lamp and a one-seater sofa could also be seen, and towards your left would be a small dining table for 4. Straight ahead would be a sliding door to the bedroom.

The Deluxe King Room
The Deluxe King Room is a 62m² room with a choice of only a king bed. The room is very spacious and it comes with a large work desk equipped with what a proper work desk should have- a comfortable work desk chair, a desk light, and enough plug points for your laptop, phone, etc. A flat screened TV sits on a table in front of the bed which I honestly think is too low especially when you're lying on the bed trying to watch a movie.
This room is very energy consuming as there are 3 air-conditioners:
1 at the dining area,
1 facing the work desk,
1 facing the bed.
As much as I tried to save the energy consumption (I'm just tryna' "Go Green" here), 3 air-conditioners was still NOT strong enough to cool and to ventilate the whole place. The room was also stale and dusty upon arrival, making me feel that this hotel does not take the effort in doing regular housekeeping, or at least, in making their guests feel welcomed and comfortable.

The Bathroom
The bathroom comes with a standing shower and a basic set of toiletries. There's honestly nothing much to shout about compared to my previous bathroom posts, but well, its clean, and enough towels are provided and that's about it. Oh, do note that the bathroom will be dim as there is only 1 light. Ah ha ha ha. How romantic, eh?
The bathroom
During my stay there, I was told that the swimming pool and lounge area was under renovation, so I couldn't get to see how it would've been. Ah, better luck next time I guess.

I would rate this hotel a 6/10 because it is pretty inconvenient as you'd have to travel quite a distance to go out, and the condition of the room was just okay. I do hope that this blog post has given you another option to consider if you're ever thinking of staying around Subang Jaya, Malaysia. Till then. xx
