Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is ideally located near the Palms and several restaurants, making it convenient for dining out or exploring the CBD area. It's also very close to the football club. The rooms are outfitted with crisp clean linens and offer good facilities, ensuring a pleasant stay. The bed, although comfortable, could be better. The service provided, including room service and laundry, is excellent. However, there might be minor improvements needed in some areas. Overall, the location is fantastic, but keep in mind that the price may not align perfectly with the value received.
The hotel had a convenient location close to everything we needed and was central to food outlets. The rooms were comfortable and had good facilities, but the price could be a bit better. The service was excellent but lacked room service and laundry options.
