This hotel was a total find after exploring! the bar staff were super friendly, always ready with a smile and great service and i also liked the special offer they had on cocktails, i tried a few. adequate car parking at the hotel was also a major bonus. I had no stress about finding a spot after my day of adventuring.
the dinner menu seemed extensive but some dishes, including the burgers, tasted dry. i hope they address this to improve the overall food quality.

the free parking was so useful. the location was great. you can walk into the city in about 10 minutes. plus, the evening meals and cocktails were very good, i really liked the selection.
i found that the light outside shone into the room all night. this was due to the lack of a proper blind.

A Comfortable Stay

spacious roomhelpful stafffreshly cooked meal
The room was spacious and clean. Twin beds were provided as I requested. The staff members were very helpful throughout my visit. They accommodated me by allowing an early check-in and promptly supplied fresh milk and a city map upon request. I also dined there. The evening meal was AMAZING!!!
The stairs leading to the bedrooms needed some attention, as the carpets were worn.
