I love this place. All of the staff are so kind, professional and helpful. I love all of the programs and services that they provide as well. The bus stops are right in front of the property so it's only a 2 min walk from the building. The morning buffet's decent, there's plenty of chocies for meat, I just wish they had more vegetables and salads.

Big hotel, nicely located for the zoo and buses into town. Good selection for breakfast buffet, staff helpful and the room was perfect. Even better if there was a biscuit or two with the tea making facilities. Pool loved by our daughter but gets crowded and a bit wild if you don't have kids.
