We needed a hotel close to the airport due to an early morning flight and the guide we had been with for a few days put us up at the Good Wood. My husband and daughter went to get something to eat in the restaurant and came back some time later having been eaten alive by fleas jumping out of the carpet. On returning to the bedroom my husband found a millipede in his bed. The room was satisfactory though had clearly seen better days. There was no tea/coffee making facilitiy and no english tv channels. To get to Negombo was a 30 min drive in a tuk tuk - cost 700 rupees. We should have stayed in Negombo and suffered the longer journey to the airport the following morning. A souless place - avoid at all costs. more
