adequate stay

spacious room plentiful dinner ample breakfast limited menu curry quality fish absence
The room 1 was spacious. This was appreciated. both dinner and breakfast were plentiful. breakfast was fine.
the menu leaned heavily toward steak and burger options! almost everything included chips and garden peas. the massaman curry was not good and resembled a defrosted stew. there was no fish on the menu.

Balanced stay

friendly staff channel selection soft towel high price strong flavor wall item
Staff was friendly. They assisted with directions. My room included a television. It had various channels available. The provided towels felt soft. These were regularly replaced. Breakfast included several options. I found the tea tray well-stocked.
The food prices in the evening seemed high. The coffee in the morning was disappointing. It had a strong flavor. The coffee temperature was lukewarm. Clutter was noticeable. Many items decorated the walls.
