Checking in was both pleasant and smooth. Staff were friendly.
The 2 bedroom suite we got was great. AC was working great. Suite was both clean and comfortable. Kitchenette was a bonus.
Bedroom and washroom amenities were more than adequate.
Breakfast spread was good.
Location was great. Walking distance to many spots. Loads of eateries/waterholes just short jaunts away.

Second time I’ve stayed here. Had two separate bookings as travel plans changed and reception we’re able to ensure I could keep my room and avoid checking out and rechecking in - really appreciated.
