Located close to the Great East Mall (variety of restaurants over clothing stores) which is very convenient as you can walk over to the mall for a change of scenery and food-maybe even a little bit of shopping, there are also locally produced goods sold outside this mall. Clean rooms, lovely food, and the service was excellent, the staff is very friendly and approachable.
