Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally situated close to the Summerstrand hub, with rooms that are user-friendly even for individuals with disabilities like myself. The rooms are to a high standard, clean, and fresh, offering a comfortable stay. The service was fantastic, mirroring the friendly reputation of the city, although the waiting time for assistance due to limited reception staff was a drawback. The location is peacefully quiet, perfect for relaxation by the pool, although the intermittent TV signal was a minor inconvenience. The dining experience was not exceptional, and the price did not match the quality offered. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor areas that could be improved.
I was delighted with the hotel's peaceful location on beautiful Marine Drive, away from the noisy main hotel area. The rooms were old and in need of repair, but the friendly staff made up for it. The dining experience was simply amazing, offering quality and quantity. However, the TV signal was quite unreliable, disrupting the overall experience.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that give onto the swimming pool and is very close to the Summerstrand hub. The service is friendly, with good quality cotton linens and towels. However, there were some issues with sandflies/mozzies, dirty walls, and drains. The location is peacefully quiet, perfect for relaxation, although it needs a touch-up and the TV signal can be inconsistent. The dining experience is pleasant but not extraordinary.
The hotel's location on beautiful Marine Drive next to Humewood Golf Club and close to the university is peaceful and quiet, offering a relaxing stay. The service was helpful and available 24 hours a day, though more friendly interactions would enhance the experience. The dining options were varied and of excellent quality. The rooms, however, were disappointing with old furnishings, sandflies, and stuffiness, making the stay less comfortable.
The hotel is located on beautiful Marine Drive next to Humewood Golf Club, close to the university, offering a peacefully quiet environment ideal for relaxation. The rooms were spacious and clean, perfect for a family of four, but showed signs of wear and lack of proper maintenance. The service was friendly but could improve in terms of efficiency during peak times. The dining experience was average, lacking any exceptional offerings. The facilities need some attention to detail but overall provided a satisfactory experience.
