“Security is obviously a priority at this army-run hotel, but not at the expense of hospitality: staff are repeatedly mentioned for their helpfulness. The location on the highway may require some getting used to for pedestrians, but the amenities, from diverse dining to wellness facilities, offer a welcome retreat. Its event spaces and family-friendly facilities position it well for both business and leisure travellers.”
