"This hotel was a pleasant surprise. I was greeted outside, given a hot towel to wipe my hands, and then served cold Hibiscus tea while I waited for my room. When my room was ready, everything was explained to me in detail. I was given the wrong room, but when I brought it to their attention and showed them, it was immediately corrected. The room and bathroom were clean. Everyone was kind and gentle and aimed to please to ensure I had a great stay. Great value."
