How we spend out last weekend? We have a 3 days 2 nights stay in a hotel. We spend the nights at Best Western i-City Shah Alam. How about you, how you spend your weekend? We only checked in the Friday evenin,g no kidding. I am sure you like to know about this My Stay is My Way at Best Western i-City Shah Alam, instead of checking in the normal time of 2pm because busy parenting and son has got tuition on the day. We couldn't make it in time. Glad to see that this hotel offers the flexible check-in time and also check out time. You just need to top up an additional of RM60 nett from your room rate to enjoy. We know check out time is often 12noon, early morning that's the time we always hurry to pack before the clock strike 12noon, now you can personalized your stay at your convenient!

Checking in on Friday and we get to choose the Betta Fish for the stay before check out. Yeah it's cute Betta Fish for RM5 each night for each fish during the stay. Just nice as my sons never had a pet fish and these are fighting fishes which we got them in separate. Jasper and Grace are their names! Each Betta Fish are unique as it carries its own name.

About Grace, it will always greet you with this beautiful tail elegantly. An ancient warrior, he has no fear.

About the Jasper, it loves dreaming, quite funny sometimes. He loves fighting. Don't mess with him.

 You are looking at the spacious Deluxe Room, yeah we have got ourselves two rooms. There's connection door in the room. Just nice as the boys can have their own bed. Parents too get to have some privacy. If you like to have a connecting room you got to request for it.

Its important having a connecting room for family as children are still young. I like this hotel as we got to keep our eyes on our children though we are in different room. We can have our inside connecting door opens so that we can go in and out the room easily without stepping out of the hotel's room.

As we checked-in the hotel in the evening surely we feel hungry and thinking what to eat. There's All You Can Eat Seafood BBQ on Friday evening starting at 7pm to 10pm.

That's our lunch and we head back the room to rest and watch TV, we bring along the board games. Kids loving it playing the snake and ladder board game. It was rainy in the evening and we have got a good time as I have play along too. It takes a long time to complete the game as the snake kept swallowing us.

In the evening there's rain and we didn't want to get out of the room. Good thing there's Room Service, yeah have anyone tried out the QR code for ordering food? This is their new ordering system! Just scan the QR code it is located at the wall of dressing table in the hotel room.

That's Level 5 in the hotel, I always remembered that. After that, we went for morning walk around the hotel area. It's nice as it brings back lot memories to my son Sean and me when we had a night event together a few years back. Yeah they are changes and Sean no longer a kid now, he's a teenager now.
