My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The location was convenient, close to everything I needed and with easy access to the highway for local restaurants. The rooms were quite comfortable, but I did notice they were not cleaned under the bed. Having two three-quarter beds and a balcony was a nice touch. There were some service issues, as the staff laughed at me when I tried to get assistance. However, they did offer room service, car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, shuttle service, and a paid shuttle service. The price was reasonable considering the amenities provided. The dining options were limited with only red meat available, but the homemade sausages were a tasty treat. The facilities were adequate during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and had a balcony, but I did notice that they were not thoroughly cleaned under the bed. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. The staff's behavior, especially when it came to addressing complaints or requests, left something to be desired. The location was convenient, close to local restaurants and the zoo, but not everything was perfect. The dining options were a bit limited, primarily with only red meat available. Despite these drawbacks, I found the facilities to be satisfactory during my visit.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but unfortunately, the area under the bed was not cleaned. Having a balcony and two three-quarter beds in the room was a plus. The service was lacking as I was laughed at when seeking assistance. However, the hotel offered various services like room service, car hire, and more, making it convenient. The location was great, close to the zoo and Mimosa mall. Although not flawless, it provided easy access to everything I needed. The dining options were limited, mainly with only red meat available, but the included signature dishes were enjoyable. The facilities were satisfactory, though improvements could be made.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable but lacked thorough cleaning, and the complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. Having a balcony added to the charm of the room. The service, however, left much to be desired, with staff laughing when I tried to get assistance. Despite these drawbacks, the convenient location near local restaurants and amenities was a plus point.
