Reviews and Ratings
I spent a lovely three nights at this hotel while exploring the nearby plantations. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze. While the rooms were very clean and spacious, the last night was slightly marred by some loud noise from door knocking. Overall, though, the experience was very satisfying, especially considering the excellent value for the price.
I recently stayed here while exploring local plantations and found the hotel to be a solid choice. The rooms were clean and spacious, which made my stay comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcome, which really enhanced my experience. The area was quite accommodating for my needs, though the location near industrial sites might not appeal to everyone.
My stay was quite comfortable overall, commendably clean and with friendly staff. However, the hot water situation was frustrating, especially after a long day outdoors. I think some compensation would be fair given the inconvenience of the cold water. Also, while the extended stay rates were appealing, I felt the experience didn't completely justify the costs.
