10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here many times, always love the location with the mall next door. This time I came with my wheelchair-user mum and for my birthday. The hotel surprised me with balloons, cake and a card on arrival. Such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. Thank you for making my day so special. Will definitely return"
