This was my second stay at the hotel. The first time was last year in October 2013. My only complaint at the time was the way the rooms looked and everything else was beyond my imagination. I recently went back for my second visit ( 03 May 2013) and to my surprise the rooms have been made up/ refurbished which... More

This was definetly not worth the money we paid! The service was excelent but the carpets needs a wash and the bedrooms have nothing much to offer. The linen was full of little marks and holes in it. The bathroom facilities was very bad and every time you try to run the bath the shower spits water, which is not... More

We were not from around the area so we got lost alot trying to find entertainment around the area, however we ended up retreating at the Hotel.

I have a standard booking with this hotel and every week they seem to get confused with my business needs. I would like the rooms with a desk and desk light - how difficult do you think this could be? 30minutes later and I finally got a suitable room..

We opted for the buffet in the evening. The spread was good and well prepared. The atmosphere was pleasant but the bar service appears to be rather slow. The so called security at the gate would not put off a very determined criminal.
