Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located next to the town center and in a lovely bar area. The rooms, while not entirely as depicted in online photos, were very well maintained by housekeeping. The service I received from the reception desk and room service was absolutely lovely. The location is close to Concra Wood golf course and shops, making it a great choice for travelers. Overall, the facilities met my expectations, and the price offered good value for money.
The hotel is located right next to the town center and close to shops, offering a very well-maintained stay with lovely service. However, the room pictures online were a bit misleading, and the value for money could be improved.
The hotel is conveniently located close to everything, yet the dining experience was let down by the restaurant. The rooms, while not as presented online, were well-maintained by the housekeeping staff. The service was top-notch, especially at the reception desk. Overall, the value for money was reasonable.
