"Nice Hotel!" This…read morewas yet another hotel on our trip and it made up for the last hotel. The hotel was nicely decorated. Staff: Friendly Service: Decent Food: was good compared to some places and a lot of choice. Seating area: was great. very beautifully decorated with nice couches and a piano in the middle where a person plays music in the evening. Room: was good size and the bed was good to sleep on. The washroom was great with a nice shower in place. Wifi: only works in the lobby. If you have energy to go on... I would recommend to go to the mall close by. The hotel provides a shuttle service and there is lot of variety for food and its a good mall to check out as I got a lot of presents and sweets from the mall.
