Not exactly pleasant, as how i put it in my previous post. So,strictly speaking it is at the borderline of being pleasant and unpleasant. LOL!(didn't matter much to me)
Anyway, pungent isn't the best word to describe that smell, or maybe it varies from person to person due to its subjectivity.
Clarification: The room itself doesn't smell, it's the bed sheet and stuff. |

Dear Kong,
At least you know the smell in Equatorial Hotel room is not pleasant, aren't you??  |

Pungent? I think that'll be the last word that i'd ever use to describe the rooms in Equatorial. The smell wasn't as bad as how you described. It smelled clean to me, though not exactly pleasant. |

From my experience, most of the rooms in Equatorial Hotel are quite pungent with the "smell of the room" (you know what I mean) and Century Pines room is not so smelly. Even the bedsheet and comforter in Equatorial Hotel room has heavier smell than the bedsheet and comforter in Century Pines Resort. Well, anyway, I wish you all the best in Cameron Highlands.  |

Dear jeffrey, i'm sorry as i can't help but to disagree with your statement regarding the cleanliness of EQ. Being huge and hard to manage doesn't automatically qualify it as a badly managed one..you always have some smart management teams in those hotels(and that's what they are there for). This is a really biased talk, i'm aware(because i never stay in Century Pines), but i seriously didn't find EQ dirty, in any sense or, in any of my stay. The car park could smell a little(due to the birds' droppings)but i noticed it's improved quite a lot in my last visit. Rooms-wise, i have to say it's the best that one could ask for, everything's clean and well arranged. The only thing that i was slightly dissatisfied was the maintenance of the sewage system and the piping etc. The water wasn't flowing well but that didn't bother me much.(since the water was still, at least, flowing and not completely stagnant or something)
You can also find some restaurants in Brinchang serving pure, organic vegetables for the steamboat meals on request.(well, actually all the restaurants wouldn't mind serving you with a vegetarian version of steamboat). My hon is a vegetarian(but he takes garlic and onions)and they seemed to be very fast on their feet whenever they heard the word ''vegetarian'' being mentioned. I'm speaking from experience here-they replaced all the fish balls and chicken slices to those made of starch without hesitation. Just a thought: You'll be charged with the same price even if you request for a vegetarian steamboat meal, so that means they'll probably gain more profit as it's a universal truth that, starch is definitely cheaper than the meat products. I'm quite sure they'd idolise you for requesting for that.
Hope this little piece of advice helps. And, please don't take this as an offense, Jeffrey, especially regarding the vegetarian food bit. Vegetarians/vegans have my respect, just like how my vegetarian hon does. |

Equatorial Hotel maybe bigger and even consists of more facilities (even swimming pool) than Century Pines Resort but cleanliness wise, Century Pines Resort is better than Equatorial Hotel. This is because Century Pines Resort is newer than Equatorial Cameron and since Century Pines Resort is smaller than Equatorial Cameron Highlands, it is much more easier to take care of. Vegetarian food wise, the you might have to go to Water Cress Valley in Kea Farm area if you really want to eat some vegetarian hot pot (steamboat), or else you can even find vegetarian food in T-cafe, but some of the so called vegetarian food there got onions, spring onions, garlic or garlic chives which is a big no no to some pure vegetarians. Or you can try to look for Indian food shop that sells Indian vegetarian food in Tanah Rata and Brinchang. Have a nice day in Cameron Highlands! |
