La habitación era amplia y cómoda así como el baño. Las instalaciones para lavar la ropa eran adecuadas. Se podía aparcar bien y se encontraba bien situado.

El precio fue bastante superior a lo que ofrecía el lugar.

"It certainly wasn't money well spent but we needed accommodation in Omarama at the time."

5.0

Room was OK Staff friendly enough and helpful Bed was comfy

Very poor water pressure in the shower to the point that it was almost not worth having one. Also poor pressure at the basin. Room was dated & def in need of a refurb. Breakfast luke warm & not fresh on 2 out of 3 occasions - cooked breakfast had clearly been sitting out for some time.
