Not bad at all, great if you just need a place to stay temporarily while having other activities going on in town, would not really recommend if you're planning on spending most of your time in the hotel. Ideal for conferences
- Rach R.Google review · 6 Jun 2018
It's in a very good location. I enjoy their traditional chicken any day . I wish the hotel management can improve on the conditions of their conference hall especially the staircase n floors. Diversify on kids recreation facilities and have different games for different ages especially girls. A good place to visit though.
