Good location

Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG
Breakfast menu variety could be better as the same food variety is served consecutively over 2 days. Otherwise staff service is prompt even during busy hours. High tea food hygiene should be observed. Room is comfortable though the shower room door does not close properly.
