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.

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.

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.
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.

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