Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had well-equipped rooms with a variety of entertainment options, but they tended to be hot. The service was very nice and accommodating, offering a great value for money. The location was excellent, with easy access to attractions, although the rooms may be on different levels which could be inconvenient. The dining experience was terrific with a tasty breakfast, but there were some minor issues. The facilities were well-maintained and offered a good value.
The hotel had beautifully styled rooms with a traditional look but they were exceptionally small with limited space to move around. The noisy road facing the hotel was unexpected. The friendly service and accommodating staff added great value to the stay.
I found myself in a bit of a jam late at night, and the hotel promptly helped us with a lovely, large room that had the best shower with great water pressure. The place is a bit worn out but still very pleasant.
