Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and very well designed, providing maximum cooling on hot summer days. We opted for the heritage suite, which was beautifully presented and large, offering every modern amenity available. However, we couldn't see the television from our bed, which was a bit inconvenient. The location was unusual but positive, with delicious complimentary cooked snacks provided. The dining experience needed improvement as it was too limited, not even offering eggs. Despite some minor drawbacks, the hotel overall offered a unique and enjoyable experience.
The hotel had spacious and airy rooms that were well-appointed, comfy, and modern. However, there were maintenance issues like a non-functioning ripped flyscreen that was not addressed despite our request. The service was extremely welcoming and efficient, with helpful staff. The location was convenient as a mid-point stop and quiet, closer to tourist destinations. The dining options, although delicious, were vegetarian only. The facilities were excellent overall.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were well-equipped and spacious, but the shower area was a bit small and slippery. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and helpful staff. The location offered convenience for sightseeing but lacked a variety of lounging options. The dining experience was good, with diverse food choices. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
