Lovely free parking close to reception & zoo!

We loved the parking for this hotel as we needed to sort our cases out & this design gave us the room to do this. Reception staff were lovely - Spirit club pool area could do with a refurb & no spa here at all, so this needs to be removed from your description! There was a language barrier in the restaurant & they couldn’t cater for special diet very well at all! Great for the zoo though & hotel parking is free.

We were allicated a room with two single beds and told we had to move them together since they were out of king size beds. Too expensive for the service. It looks different in picture than. What you get, rooms look old and smelly. All together we had a bad experience as we were travelling from far.

Stayed here a lot over the years. Always good parking and easy access to the Bus to Town. Rooms basic but peefectly fine and clean. That said, i have noticed a real decline over the last few years in the Breakfast choice. Main items are there, but it just feels cheap and 'mass' catering. Fruit choice is very limited with cut up bananas for example. Cost Cutting no doubt but at these rates is not great.
