The floors were extremely dirty to the point that we had to wear our shoes inside to avoid getting dirt in the beds when we went to sleep. Also, the bathroom was swarmed with ants coming in through the cracks. However, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They provided extra pillows and toiletries upon request, cleaned the bathroom with bleach, and provided Raid, which didn’t completely work on the ants but we appreciated their help.

We had a quiet stay in this hotel. Front desks are nice and accomodating. There was a complimentary coffee in the front desk. There were lots of parking space. The only thing that we did not like was its proximity to inter faith community service building which was right in front of the hotel, there were homeless hanging around by the parking entrance and some random person asking for change in front of the lobby. Bath towels were medium size and rough, it came with 2 bar soaps and a shampoo. I love that there were working microwave and fridge. Nothing crazy happened during our stay but it was just the thinking of something might happened during our stay or something might happen to our car that is just parked where these people can have access to. So, if you dont mind these people, it is a good place to stay and it is just 12 minutes drive to safari park and other nice restaurants. Pool was dirty.

The general location left much to be desired, as we saw numerous shady characters and the cops showed up twice. But the room itself was absolutely lovely and had everything we needed - microwave, fridge, big bed and hot shower. And they have a pool!!!

Woke up to a cockroach next to my bed. Started investigating the sheets. Found what look like wound up pubic hair in the sheets. Found other hair in the sheets that wasn’t mine. I have silver and black hair. Sheets were stained. Went down to talk to front desk and basically was told too bad. I asked for a refund and the front desk person said since I went through Expedia, they can’t do anything for me. Sorry. Rude rude people at the front desk. Will never stay there again ever.

The room was non-smoking, yet the bed spread had several cigarettes burns in it. The blanket was stained. The room was in serious need of refurbishing. For $265 a night, I expected more.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! We literally checked in after a day at the Safari Park just to take a shower and get cleaned up before going to the airport for an overnight flight. So we had very low expectations. The area is a little sketchy, but the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was fine, but the shower was perfect! Plenty of hot water and good pressure. Turned out to be a great idea!
