- This hotel was truly amazing, the rooms and surrounding areas were clean. - The location was superb. There is a lake for leisure at the back as well as shopping mall and restaurants in walking distance including the one in the building itself. - The building comes with its own amenities that made it fun stay in on a rainy day. - The staff was available to answer questions and provide what was asked of them. - Breakfast was amazing with variations and rotation of items.
