Pros:

The staff was friendly and they went extra mile for us
Me and my family had great time and we are planning to come back

Cons:

The breakfast was nice but the only thing the preparation time they took long to give us good
I would suggest that they prepare food early and put everything inside food warmers
Then when we come they only make eggs, toast and tea
Thank you 😍🙏🏻

It was fair ...
Pros:

friendly staff and maintenance quick response .

Cons:

The wooden flooring is making a lot of noise. I found a cockroach crawling in the shower. The toilet was not flushing; I had to report it around 21:00, but I was assisted quickly, though. Though it shows that the room was not properly checked before the client signed in, just make sure the toilet is working and water is running. The fact that there's no bar fridge is a turn-off.

Great place but they need to fix geyser and airconditions , hire more staff at kitchen to better ser
Pros:

Convince place from where i was attending. The parking and security good. Whatapp group they include for you to communicate. Cleanliness of their rooms. Redress when they make mistake such as offering breakfast for free and moving you from room to room. Good breakfast and value for money even though it comes hour late. Good hotel just need to pick up pace when working

Cons:

Water at bathrooms were cold and since it winter traveling with a child you need to bath with warm or hot water not cold or semi warm. Their geyser was not functional. One person at dinning hall who prepares for food and it takes an 30 minute to an hour waiting for food without offering you a cereal or coffee while waiting. Poor service at kitchen and maintenance. When requesting iron it delivered after 30 minutes waiting. They do not pick it up even when you take it out for others to use. Towels are not soft, they are hard as stones and could scrub and hurt you when using them. Aircondition was not working. Poor, poor service.
