Customer loyalty is lacking . I come regularly to your hotel and since I have to travel overnight and arrive early few hours before the checking , I have never once been offered breakfast nor a hot drink when you know your customer has had a tiring journey . You stuck to your policy ‘as one checks in at 12 you don’t qualify for a breakfast ! This for me is poor customer loyalty !

I'm glad that I chose this hotel! It satisfied all my simple desires! I was greeted by staff, registration was quick, staff was excellent! The restaurant offered a variety of cultures...as expected the room was little outdated, but it got the job done! Yes, I would stay here again...
