So there it was, the moment we stepped right up to the reception counter, catching us totally by surprise – \u201cMr. Sim, here\u2019s a cookie for you to enjoy\u201d said the receptionist sweetly before she processed our check-in\u2026and the cookie was warm and it tasted good.

Welcome to the Double-Tree Hilton, Johor Bahru. It\u2019s been awhile since we stepped into a Hilton hotel \u2013 the last time was 17 years ago for our wedding banquet in Hilton, Singapore! So imagine our pleasant surprise when we were greeted each by a warm chocolate chip cookie \u2013 a trademark promise of the level of hospitality we would receive during our stay and we were not disappointed at all. But first, I have had to deal with some \u2018bias-ness\u2019 on my part.<\/p>\n
Firstly, I have to admit, I had not expected a hotel of this stature to be located so near the Woodlands Causeway. One would expect to find a international 5-star hotel in big commercial cities like KL and Singapore but JB? And virtually right next to the Johor Bahru Customs?<\/p>\n
