Love Proud Mary, love the staff’s attention to detail. The decor is uniquely beautiful. It’s my second time staying here. And highly recommended! Especially, if you’re traveling from outside the country. The standards are very high and it’s right by the mall with great restaurants nearby.

The Parktonian All Suite Hotel
Hotel is in a good location. Pool was out of action for the 11 nights in which I stayed. Food menu was limited and average. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were large. The hotel is old and it shows. The hotel is good value for money. Shame about the pool being out of action. Wifi is good.
