I was welcomed with a very customer orientated front desk personnel, Hats off to them, they had the right person in the right position. Room was nice and beds were good also. Just a short walk to the city
Hotel is nicely located on the lake front and conveniently located at a walking distance from Rail Station and about 1 km from Town Market Square. Rooms are clean and we had good sleep but otherwise average with respect to the amenities provided for the price we paid. There was not even a tea/coffee arrangement in the room and hotel didn't even offer to provide when asked for. Room WiFi is slow and TV on WiFi goes into freeze and buffering frequently. Breakfast is good but you will get reminders to hurry up as it approaches 10 am. There was no dinner/bar available as both the restaurants were closed even on a Saturday weekend evening forcing us to go outside walking in the rain for dinner in the Market Square and back in rain.
