From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I had the best treatment ever as I was welcomed with cheerful smile and great hospitality. A lady called Sharon who welcomed me went out of her way to make me feel at home and made me settle in well. The room was a great standard and kitted out with all modern cons. I will definitely book here again. The close proximity to the mall makes it more ideal.

There is NO spa at this hotel as was advertised by Expedia. Big disappointment, as that was a big reason for making the reservation. The WiFi is horrible. Every 45 seconds you get kicked off and have to switch to another network. Otherwise, the room was clean and comfortable. Short walk to the Waterfront Mall. It's a safe area, mostly quiet.
