This hotel is located very close to Pekanbaru's largest malls, SKA and LW. It's strategically located on a main road. It's clean, the AC is just the right amount of cold, the water heater is perfect for a shower, not too hot, and the breakfast has plenty of options. However, the experience is just so-so. What I really like is the spacious and free parking. There's no hassle of having to register. However, yesterday on the second day, I smelled a carrion odor from above. It's possible there was a dead rat, as there was a loud scratching sound on the ceiling that night. But on the first day, I didn't smell it. Hopefully, management will take note so future guests won't complain.
Check-in and check-out were also fast, and the short-haired lady in the restaurant area was very friendly, but I forgot her name. Thank you for the Companion Hotel Grand Suka Pekanbaru. I will come back again soon.
