Ivanhoe Hotel A Heritage Property

Ivanhoe Hotel A Heritage Property

8/10 Good
"Hotel location was hard to find, lady staff was rude to my driver and unhelpful, we wasted quite a lot of time driving up and down on holly and narrow street, my driver even hit the back of his 4x4car. Not until I called and personally spoke to the hotel again then they sent a staff to our lost location and showed us the way to the hotel. The staff was very helpful and polite so was the gentleman owner was very welcoming. I’d a good but short sleep as has to leave at 3.40 for Tiger hill. The gentleman owner and his staff kindly assist me to my next driver of the day."
