This hotel was acquired by a new owner in 2012 and has undergone renovation. There used to be hippos in the water around it, but none now. Not a bad thing as they are pretty dangerous animals. Still lots of little monkeys. It is a good stopping off place on the journey between Nairobi and Mombasa, close to Makindo, an interesting ethnic melting pot of a town. There is presently no clear sign for the entrance to the hotel. Look for the petrol station on the west side of the main Nairobi-Mombasa highway and the entrance is immediately to the north. Do not follow what Google Maps says as it will take you on a jaunt to nowhere around the back side of the hotel.
