The only negative was the gift shop. Was overcharged for a purchase significantly. In a hurry and didn't convert Kenyan Shilllings to US dollars before signing. Contacted shop after returning to USA. Sent proof of purchase and was never contacted. Just good idea to convert foreign currency to your currency value before signing. The hotel itself was tremendous.

The hotel is of a high standard, the bed was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and attentive. Best of all was the breakfast, an extensive and superb selection. The only thing we didn't like was that the surrounding area was not safe to walk around.
