Parking
Nestled in a convenient location near the Starling Mall, cafes, restaurants and hawker centres, Somerset Damansara Uptown Petaling Jaya offers free parking to its guests. However, many have found the parking situation to be less than ideal.

Guests frequently mention that the car park is often full, necessitating parking far from the lift, which can be particularly difficult for families with young children.

Additionally, the car park procedures have drawn considerable criticism. Guests need to validate their parking tickets twice every time they enter or exit, which can be cumbersome. Some have experienced issues with the parking ticket system even after verification at the front desk, describing the process as complicated and unfriendly. The exit gate's scanning machine also reportedly poses difficulties, further complicating parking logistics at the hotel.

Overall, while the parking is free and the hotel enjoys a prime location, the insufficient and complicated parking system presents a significant inconvenience for many guests.
