I think a few reviewers are mixing this hotel up with another (there is a lone pine hotel also on Penang - mentions of beach etc.). This is the one at Air Itam, which is near Kek Lok temple and Penang Hill. It is in a residential area. Supermarket opposite in one direction, and McD in the other (over the road). The hotel has a good outdoor pool and the room was fine, fairly basic but clean, with small balcony, comfy beds, and quiet at night. Goh Pek Mooi on reception was lovely, very helpful, brought us towels for a swim and very knowledgeable about the local area. You can get a bus from outside the hotel to the temple, and Air Itam itself is untouristy, good for local food. We didn't bother with Penang hill after hearing bad reviews, but the temple was outstanding. The hotel seemed very empty when we were there, but has a wonderful staircase (which you have to use to get to the rooms on 2nd floor as don't think there is a lift) Its about a 20 minute drive to the airport. I would recommend it for what we were doing (seeing the temple, wanting to be in a different place in penang after doing Georgetown and the National Park) but it isn't a resort hotel.
