We booked a pool view - non smoking room and we were assigned a roof view - smoking room. Having "pool view" as the standard description of the room when not all rooms can have the pool view is inaccurate and assigning a smoking room when we specifically booked a non-smoking room is unacceptable. The staff were entirely unapologetic about the smoking/non-smoking room concern.

Good start Pharos
The Pharos hotel is brand new or fully refurbished. Formerly the Aruna Hotel, it has been taken over by new Management and the result was really good. Rooms are spacious and clean with good toilet facilities. The hotel staff are very courteous and helpful. The food at the restaurant was tasty and the Chef is a hero! Tried out the pool, and it was fresh and relaxing. Good location too. They had only opened 20 rooms of the 90 odd, and there was some refurbishment going on, so there were odd times where we heard drilling or some work going on, but except for this the hotel is a 5-star.

Budget but nice
For the price you pay it is a decent hotel. The staff are very nice. Not very thorough so sometimes you have to remind them to provide some things like towels etc. But they immediately do it. The swimming pool is very nice. Breakfast is excellent. Rooms are spacious. Appointments are average. A few things like a note pad and pen, a table lamp etc would make the rooms more business traveler friendly. Location is what you pay for. Centrally located with ample drive in space to get dropped off at the door.
