Thank you had a wonderful stay.

The staff gave me their friendship. In the times I have shared in Ole-Ken, my daily coming and going was uplifting. I deeply enjoyed the handshakes with the smiles. The verbal greetings were always there with enthusiasm and sincerity. I do not need to go to Ole-Ken to be encouraged, to be comfortable, to be satisfied, but it always occurs. Asante sana!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! Spacious room accommodations for our family of 5. Everyone working at the hotel was So kind and helpful. We couldn't get over how good the Indian food was at the restaurant--likely the best we've ever had! Definitely try the feta and coriander samosas. It was very easy for us to walk down to the mall and do some shopping as well. Would stay again!!
