The location is good, the hotel is located in a nice big compound which felt kingly. The 24 hour customer service is nice. The only thing that I caution fellow travellers is that the pictures of rooms are slightly deceiving. They look grand and spacious in photos but in reality not so. I paid about $70 for a king size bed room but felt as if it was not worth it.

This is a beautiful hotel. Our friend got married here as well. It is a hot spot for weddings. There is always one going on. The staff was very helpful and kind. Our booked room had ants in it, so they upgraded us to a better room. The new room had a little bit of a dust problem, but it still a beautiful room and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was great too! Definitely recommend.
