It's OK. We stayed in this hotel on the first day of the trip. Compared with other hotels in the whole trip, it was in the middle, neither good nor bad. The room was not big.

They were incredibly kind and helpful. When they found out we were a family traveling together, they upgraded our room to a family suite. The room was spotless, the breakfast was superb, and the staff were very nice.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel and was impressed by the outstanding customer service. From the reception to the breakfast team, the staff provided warm and friendly hospitality. Special thanks to Murahi, Rohitha, Mellon, George, and Joel for their excellent service and for making my stay feel like a 5-star experience. I look forward to returning for another stay!

The staff are lovely and helpful , room really clean. Breakfast area quite small and busy. Located in the motorway so nothing around unless your driving other than a petrol station that is walking distance , overall great hotel
