This review is overdue. We first stayed a few days in this hotel 3 years ago, and we thought it was just perfect. We returned again in mid February and due to unforeseen circumstances stayed several weeks. Nothing is completely perfect when you stay that long, but this hotel comes close for several reasons. First, the hotel itself has everything that one wishes for. Spacious rooms, big windows, comfortable beds, half wall mirrors, plenty of storage space, many sockets and spot lights (just where you need them) - and even a kettle and a fridge. The bathroom is equally comfortable, with non-slip ceramic tiles, wonderful shower room, enough space to put toiletries and hang clothes. In fact, if I thought long and hard to find a minus point it would be that the hooks could be slightly longer.. The hotel features a wonderful buffet breakfast, and has a long and a swimming pool which we didn’t use this time, but enjoyed in our previous trip. Second, the location is brilliant. It is just on the outskirts of a town, but is convenient drive to the airport, the train station (to Tel Aviv, the north and the south of the country) is 10 min. walk. As well, there are frequent buses to Tel Aviv, a few minutes away. Finally, the tram that is about to launch at the end of the year (we saw some of its trial runs) will complete the range of travel options to Tel Aviv. Currently it takes about 20 minutes to travel to Tel Aviv by train, and about 35 minutes by bus. Just next door there is a shopping mall with many shops and restaurants, and in the shopping district a few minute walk away there are many restaurants for every budget. Last but not least, it is bordering on a beautiful ecological park complete with ducks, golden fishes, birds and water lilies, plus an activity park for children and the young at heart, and picnic tables. Finally, as we know things don’t always go to plan. From my experience as a consumer the quality of any institution or service provider is judged by how attentive they are to clients, and how good at problem solving. On this point, the staff went the extra mile to sort any issue, with a smile, and special marks are due to Doron and Tamar. Doron was a class act! So, all in all, a highly recommended hotel.
