the hotel was situated perfectly as i visited chessington world of adventure. rooms was spacious and clean too. breakfast i had included plenty of choices.

i arrived after a busy day in the park. the hotel lobby looked quite excellent, with a large giraffe to greet you and butterflies. we checked in at reception, but the lady could of gave us more information about the safari walk. the entertainment was quite poor. it just was like an afterthought in a conference room with a few games.
