In a relatively safe area of the city, though we were warned to take a taxi to the large mall only a ten-minute walk away, with the warning "It's safe INSIDE the mall."

Very comfortable rooms with a basic kitchen, just a sink, microwave and dishwasher, so not for the ambitious cook.

The staff are friendly yet professional... More

We got a lakeside room on the lower level and it was a bit chilly and damp, and the furnishings were quite tired. The staff were nice and the... More

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in May 2005, as part of our holiday. We were very impressed. Our room (a studio) was very large, with a king-size bed, large bathroom, kitchen / dining area equipped with fridge and microwave, and a balcony overlooking the lake. We also had our own private entrance and covered parking space.... More
