> An excellent place to stay with great service. Everything was smooth and hassle free from start to finish. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and well equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. It felt relaxed and well managed, with no unnecessary hassle at all. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I would book again in the future., Rohit Sharda, 9 months ago
> Stayed here for just the one night and it was perfectly acceptable. We arrived just after 2 for checkin and the desk was unmanned. When i finally found someone they told me that the rooms are ready.....so don't attempt to book in early! It was surprisingly quiet given that it’s right next to a busy road, but apart from the occasional truck i heard nothing at all of the road. The bed was way too soft for my personal liking; however my partner loved it. A spotlessly clean toilet and shower, and the shower had fantastic pressure, but did run a bit randomly hot/cold. Just be aware, (if all t, merlin astley-jones, a year ago
> We stayed at 101 Stars early January for four nights, there were 4 of us staying and we were given a room that had a very large L shaped leather lounge suite which was such a pleasant surprise, thank you so much!! The lounge area was super comfortable and a great size with loads of windows and even an outdoor deck area to sit out on ( it would be nice to have a table and chairs out there). There were 2 separate bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with 2 singles, which were both very comfortable. The kitchenette was great also with everything you need. Loved how there was a separate to, CC Bryant, 2 years ago
