From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I had the best treatment ever as I was welcomed with cheerful smile and great hospitality. A lady called Sharon who welcomed me went out of her way to make me feel at home and made me settle in well. The room was a great standard and kitted out with all modern cons. I will definitely book here again. The close proximity to the mall makes it more ideal.
Room was very clean and comfortable. The staff, excellent. Thanks very much to Sharon, Sheila and Hellen for taking extra steps to ensure guests are comfortable.
Wonderful job.
The rooms are spacious. Really loved my stay there. Its opposite to a shopping mall which is a great advantage.
The staff were absolutely amazing. Especially Sheila. She was outstanding. Very professional and helpfull.
The only downfall was the water wwas cold on some days.
