Positive Reviews

Very good location

Guests consider the location of the property to be ideal, as it sits in the parking lot of Gateway Shopping Centre. As a result, guests can enjoy access to entertainment, numerous restaurants and shopping venues throughout their stays.

Friendly reception staff

When checking in, guests are greeted by friendly staff members. The positive attitude of the check-in staff makes the process much easier for visitors, which they appreciate.

Good breakfast

Breakfast is available for an additional fee each morning and travellers say it is well worth the cost. Guests mention the food is tasty and provides excellent value.

Negative Reviews

Smells like cigarettes

Rooms at the hotel smell like cigarettes, which travellers don't appreciate. Guests say it is obvious previous visitors have smoked in the rooms and the staff hasn't done anything to alleviate the odour.

Lack of in-room facilities

Guests complain about the lack of in-room facilities, as the hotel is very basic. The rooms don't even have a kettle or coffee-maker, leaving travellers disappointed.

Noisy at night

Even though there are signs in the halls asking guests to remain quiet, visitors report hearing a lot of noise at night. As a result, guests find it difficult to sleep at the hotel.
