Rooms are clean and quiet, if you are looking for the Ritz, this is not it. If you are looking for a nice place to stay in Bandara for a reasonable price, this is your place. I have stayed several times and have had great experiences all of those times.

Liked: Staff & service
Parking was easy. Rooms could use some updating like drywall work in some places. Room has fridge and microwave which is a plus. The bed was comfortable. The room had the biggest TV I have ever seen in a hotel and I stay at a lot of them. Had to be an 80 inch which was crazy but pretty cool. Water pressure was a little low but water was hot so I cant complain. All in all, for the price, I think it was a pretty good room for a night or two.
