Big hotel, nicely located for the zoo and buses into town. Good selection for breakfast buffet, staff helpful and the room was perfect. Even better if there was a biscuit or two with the tea making facilities. Pool loved by our daughter but gets crowded and a bit wild if you don't have kids.

We recently stayed 3 nights here, over-all the stay was okay however I was disappointed with the room condition. I would say this hotel is in need of a complete refurbishment. The lobby area has been done, but the rooms are very dated and old / tired. The need updating, along with the bathrooms which was also dated and grubby. The staff were friendly but it was expensive for what it was.
