Wonderful Stay
warm welcomeextra touchfresh milkbad water smell
I found a warm welcome. Extra touches added much to my room like fresh milk and bottled water. I used the coffee machine and enjoyed the biscuits provided. The fan was very helpful in the hot weather. Binoculars allowed me to enjoy the wildlife, and I also appreciate the toiletries provided.
I noted a terrible smell was present like black water from the bathroom. The smell remained after showering and closing the door. I think the water quality may be the reason because before using the bathroom the smell was not present.
Rooms

The room was compact, yet it felt very fresh. It was cleaned to perfection with fresh towels provided. I liked the fridge stocked with fresh milk and water daily and also the windows with restrictors.

The environment of the hotel is excellent and comfortable. I found plenty of free parking space and this was very convenient. My child enjoyed the playground. I also enjoyed the view around the hotel.

The hotel is near a bird sanctuary. The hotel is perfect for visiting places nearby. Birdies is also located next door and I got a discount for breakfast there with my room key. This hotel boasts a fantastic location.
