Generally very positive: staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful (front desk, Victor), good customer service and helpful handling (including a discount offered for an outage).

Very convenient location close to the airport and restaurants; shuttle service praised. Some noise from a nearby strip club at night was noted but overall location was seen as an asset.

5.4
Several negative reports about beds and pillows (very hard, sunk in middle, caused back pain) and a noisy AC; a few mentions of comfortable beds but issues dominate.

The smell and the overall hazards made for me to apply for a refund of my stay. My children were not able to shower. We

The ceiling peel from previous leak was falling on the bed. We asked for a different room and the water wasn’t draining from the tub.

Pros:

The room was clean and breakfast staff was nice

Cons:

I wanted to report that the ceiling appeared to be cracked, as if there had been a leak. It was in the bathroom, and it looked like it had been there for quite some time. Considering the price I’m paying, I was disappointed with the condition of the room.

The rooms ac was extremely loud that it was impossible to sleep.

There is a strip club right next to the hotel so at night it got pretty loud.

Great Stay
Pros:

I stayed here while visiting Tanganyika Wildlife Park, and it was a great choice. The shuttle service to and from the airport was very convenient, the breakfast each morning was good, and the front desk staff Victor was very helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area.

Great Service and location.
Pros:

Exellent customer service, everyone was extremely friendly. Room was everything I needed, though the TV's could use being renewed. Also great being so close to the airport and many restaurants. Went to Meddies for lunch and it was great.
