A police team raided the hotel at 6am and arrested three men.
They also found passports, an oxy-acetylene torch and several pawn shop receipts.
In a follow-up operation, police raided a house in Bandar Mahkota Cheras where they found various house break-in tools, several television sets, laptops, passports and jewellery believed to be stolen.
They also found an undisclosed amount of cash from two suspects in the house.
