Family-Friendly Hotels in Johor Bahru, Malaysia

 

We just came back from a 2 days 1 night trip in Johor Bahru from 16 Dec to 17 Dec, and spurred by the positive experience we had, we are thinking of making another trip there too! ^_^

I really love the experience of exploring new places and new hotels, so though Mutiara Hotel was a great place to stay,  I want to try out a different hotel for the upcoming trip!

But with two kids in tow, we have to be rather selective in our choice of h0tels.  Did a quick research, and here are some quick evaluations of the hotels in the JB area which
