The hotel is clean with friendly and warm staff. It's conveniently located near public transportation, and quiet due to its distance from major tourist activities. They could offer a more varied breakfast menu.

Perfect and convenient location for City Airport. Rooms immaculate and well equipped. On site parking was full, however large, alternative parking available across the street. All staff very friendly and in particular the ladies serving in the bar/restaurant. Great choice of good quality food and drink in the restaurant. Buffet breakfast was more than adequate. Would definitely recommend!

Allan

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was clean tidy and welcoming. Staff were great. Breakfast was buffet and fantastic. Felt uncomfortable in the area during the evening. Not many places to eat out as meal options limited for us in hotel. Room was large and clean. Bed was one of the worst I have slept on for years. Dreadfully soft and every move caused one of you to wake up. It was like a caravan bed. Pillows very soft too.
