"I don’t think I’d come back again."

6.0

The location was good, and the restaurant food was amazing. The staff were very accommodating and friendly.

The rooms are quite dated for the price they are charging. Plus a bus load of tourists came in at 9pm and made a racket. The hot water took ages to come through and the pressure in the shower dismal. The jug was only able to be plugged in near the tv screen and the lampshades were cracked. When the bathroom light was switched on the fan came on and it was so noisy.

"Overall not a good experience"

3.0

Room 109 was not cleaned until 7:00 PM. The keys were handed over to us before the room had been serviced, and we had to coordinate with the reception staff until it was ready. We finally received the cleaned room at 7:00 PM.

Not well organized and room 109 was very dirty at the time of receiving the key. We had to wait till 7pm to receive the room 109
