Clean and comfortable rooms, very friendly staff in a safe, quiet location. Sunday mornings do get a bit noisy with the Church in the same building. Overall great stay.
Place was very clean, very quiet, customer service was on point, easily accessible, parking was easy and safe, location was very secure, I would recommend.
Fantastic place to stay! The staff were super helpful and always available whenever needed. A massive shout-out to the chef for making a banging breakfast every single morning. The room was incredibly comfy and clean, so I slept soundly every night. Wifi available throughout the hotel.
Getting around was effortless, with a convenient Uber pick-up spot right outside. Plus, having The Waterfront shopping mall directly opposite on the main road was brilliant, plenty of great options for food and activities. Highly recommend, especially for solo travellers!
Friendly team always helpful. Good meeting room and good location.
There wasn't a fan in the room but they had one in as soon as I asked. Thanks for a nice stay.

The hotel is a bit far and out of the way and it is located on top of a small shopping plaza. Harder to transport luggage. Only convenient for a one night stay.

Excellent services but lack of mosquito nets made sleeping impossible- terrible bites and exhaustion.

From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I had the best treatment ever as I was welcomed with cheerful smile and great hospitality. A lady called Sharon who welcomed me went out of her way to make me feel at home and made me settle in well. The room was a great standard and kitted out with all modern cons. I will definitely book here again. The close proximity to the mall makes it more ideal.

The rooms are spacious. Really loved my stay there. Its opposite to a shopping mall which is a great advantage.
The staff were absolutely amazing. Especially Sheila. She was outstanding. Very professional and helpfull.
The only downfall was the water wwas cold on some days.

There is NO spa at this hotel as was advertised by Expedia. Big disappointment, as that was a big reason for making the reservation. The WiFi is horrible. Every 45 seconds you get kicked off and have to switch to another network. Otherwise, the room was clean and comfortable. Short walk to the Waterfront Mall. It's a safe area, mostly quiet.
