Standard
We stayed one night, on arrival it turned out i had booked the wro g mother however i was allowed to contact hotels.com and ammend it for $10 USD. Both person on the reception desks was very helpful and accommodating. The hotel has an odd smell like roaches and or repellent. The carpets and most of the non white bedding are dated. Breakfast was Tanzanian good with a lovely selection of fruits. Overall it was convenient to stay there out of necessity if it wasn't for the smell we would've stayed one more night.
