Staff always have a smile and will get you anything you need. Nice and clean room and communal areas, good variety of food. Great location if you are visiting for the Safari, only ten minutes up the road. The transition centre, where you can see the young elephants being fed, is even closer.

Great service and very hospitable team. Secure and convenient location for national park. The bathroom in the standard room is very tired and needs refurbishment
