10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was very nice, clean and mostly quiet. Staff was excellent. Very safe and secure. Gated on-site parking with security. Breakfast was on-site at the hotel and was very tasty every morning. Thankfully the hotel restaurant/bar was up at the main road 500m away. But even with being so far, on the weekends the music was loud and annoying. Normally I would fault the hotel for a loud bar a block away, but it is associated with the hotel. I feel sorry for the few neighborhood homes that have to deal with that every week. We found the restaurant to have a full menu, however very few items were available for order. So, we went into Namanga every day for a meal. There is a new petrol station on the West side of the tarmac that has a nice Cafe with local food and desserts (the lemon cake was really good......every day)."
