Location & Access
-
The property is located at Jalan Pintas, Penampang (just outside central Kota Kinabalu) and is part of the larger ITCC Penampang (International Technology & Commercial Centre) complex.
-
It enjoys convenient access to city destinations and the airport: for example, the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) is around a 10-minute drive away in many listings.
-
The property benefits from the surrounding commercial and retail hub of ITCC — shops, dining, supermarket, etc.
In-Unit / Apartment-Style Facilities
Because Manhattan Suites is more of a serviced-apartment/residence than a traditional hotel room, its in-unit facilities lean toward self-catering and space-oriented comfort.
Key in-unit amenities include:
-
Air conditioner / climate control in each unit.
-
Free WiFi / internet access in the apartment.
-
Kitchenette or kitchen facilities: fridge, stovetop or microwave, cookware & utensils in many units.
-
Sitting / living area with sofa or dining table in many layouts, making it more comfortable for longer stays.
-
Sound-proof or at least well-insulated windows in some listings.
-
Flat-screen TV, ironing facilities, dressing area, coffee/tea making facilities.
Shared / Common Facilities & Services
While the apartment style means fewer “hotel style” amenities (e.g., large gym, pool) are guaranteed in every listing, several shared and building-level facilities are frequently mentioned.
Shared / building facilities include:
-
Free private parking or on-site parking for guests.
-
Lift / elevator access to higher floors.
-
Non-smoking policy in many parts of the building.
-
Safety features such as key-card access, security, and safe-deposit boxes.
-
On‐site convenience via the ITCC complex: shops, supermarket, dining right at or near the building. This means less need to travel out for basics.
-
Laundry / ironing services may be present or accessible (via self use or local service) — some listing mention laundry or dryer.
What to Note / Practical Considerations
-
Because it’s apartment-style, some “amenities” you might expect (pool, spa, full gym) are not always guaranteed in every unit/building. Some property listings ASSUME these facilities but you should verify for your unit.
-
The self-catering kitchen/kitchenette is a big plus if you plan to cook or stay longer — consider this when comparing with standard hotel rooms.
-
Parking is indicated as “free private parking” in many references — good if you are driving.
-
The building’s location in a commercial complex means convenience for shopping and eateries, but also possibly more bustle — if you prefer very quiet, verify the floor/view.
-
Confirm exactly what “shared facilities” you will have access to (gym, pool, etc) for your stay — some notes mention membership access.
Summary
If you’re looking for a stay at Manhattan Suites @ ITCC, here’s what you can count on:
-
Spacious apartment-style units with living areas, kitchenette, good internet and comfort features.
-
Very convenient location with shopping/food easily at hand and quick access to airport/city.
-
Good for longer stays, families, groups or travellers who prefer a more “home-away-from-home” feel rather than just a hotel room.
You might not get (unless confirmed): full spa, large fitness centre, resort-style pool or the full hotel guest services of a major hotel chain — so check if these matter to you.
