The area, friendliness of staff, and convenience of checking in were some of the things that I enjoyed about the hotel. Unfortunately some of the things that I didn’t like about the experience was the TV in the room not turning on after trying to unplug and replug the cord.

Loved everything about our stay. Excellent staff and room was just what we needed. The only hiccup was that the bed felt old lumpy. A little too firm for me. I would stay again without a doubt.

This hotel is great! The staff helped us check in early and provided us with a river view room. My friend and I were both very happy^^ Although it’s close to the busy road, the room is not noisy. The location of the hotel is also very good, making our travel convenient.

Not impressed
The hotel room had stains on the carpet, and smelt strongly of cigarettes. Very dissapointed in the stark difference of lobby to room. Yes the price was slightly cheaper, but not enough to make up the difference between this hotel and the one right next door. Didnt even stay one night. Booked and paid for 3, told would get refund for the last 2 nights...we'll see.
