Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The restaurant Milima was superb, exceptional variety and abundance. Hotel staff were friendly and professional. Room while spacious showed signs of age and lack of attention to detail. Cracked lampshade, 2 lamps not working, telephone disconnected, no coffee maker until Day 3. All things were rectified once notified. Not what I expected from 5 star hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff are friendly and willing to help. The room was nice, but very dated. The shower has spots of mould on the walls, there is a ton of caulking to help it from leaking, but it still leaks, and the shower head was broken. That would be fine… except it was clear the room that not been completely cleaned. There was leftover food in the mini fridge, plastic Tupperware in the drawers, and dirty cotton swabs on the floor.

A bit out-of-date
The service was good, breakfast great and the rooms were very large, but definitely out-of-date. The shower in particular was quite bad, the water never got very hot and sometimes was barely warm. The rest of the room was also a bit dated..
