other than that , I can’t fault place and will definitely go back

We had an absolutely amazing time at Turnpike Lodge. The rooms were spacious and spotless, with great décor and crisp bed sheets. , with a huge variety of options! The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. The only disappointing thing was that the pillows were very thick and firm. I would have liked softer ones. Other than that, I can’t fault the place and will definitely go back.

Stay in the Nine Hotel was really great, no noise disturbance from others and neaby area, Nine Hotel is on main road and local transport bus stop. Excellant support to carry luggage to room. Every need in rhe room is available, only tv channels couldn't be changed. Overall the experience was very nice. Next time again preferred

Not a bad hotel

Susan and Naïf were very welcoming and hospitable. Food was ok and matched the money value. The washroom was having a leak at the wash hand basin sink which after I reported it was the same till we left. All drained water were accumulated on the floor. No table tissue was given. It was ok with our stay though.

More Bang For Your Buck

A really great Nine Hotel, I don't think I could recommend it enough for the price you pay for. Several groceries and other facilities are nearby and you are two steps away from a bus station. Apart from the lack of a swimming pool, this is a great budget stay, and it does it right.

Awesome place
