The gardens were well kept and relaxing. the room was nice and clean, with a garden right outside. I really enjoyed waking up to birds chirping! checking in and checking out was quick. The staff were lovely and efficient.
The hotel charged a daily fee for use of the swimming pool and gym facilities. I found this quite inconvenient, especially given the other amenities.
