I recently stayed at the Waterloo Bay Hotel. The facilities were well-maintained, and I felt very safe, which added a lot of comfort to my stay. The staff stood out for their friendliness and professionalism. My room was well-kept, and clearly cared. It was evident that cleanliness and maintenance are a top priority at this hotel. Parking was a breeze, with ample space and easy access. The location itself was another highlight: conveniently situated close to shops, public transport, and a wide variety of dining options. Whether I wanted a to eat at the hotel or within walking distance. Overall, I recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and convenient place to stay with great service and plenty of nearby amenities.
