Wash and Wills Hotel

I stayed at Wash and Wills Hotel for a week during which time the staff got to know me and would greet me by name. This is a comfortable hotel located in the midst of a series of beautiful gardens. I loved that the pool is right next to the dining/social area so we could watch the kids swim while the adults chatted in the shade. Rooms were clean. Breakfasts were delicious. I didn't eat any other meals at the hotel, but from what I could tell, there's a full bar and a somewhat Americanized menu available. The hotel is in a good location, near downtown Mbale, and within a short drive to the Mbale Museum, Zoo, and other attractions. The price is reasonable. There were several different conference groups that used the hotel while I was there. It seemed like there were plenty of places for them to meet as well as socialize, and their gatherings never imposed on what we were doing. This is a great place to kick back and relax.
