the hotel was nice especially the gardens. The food was good, the service was good, the staff were helpful. The room was a little on the small side, and the tv did not work. There was music playing near the hotel until 3am.I think a little overated for the cost.

The staff was excellent and helpful. Food was also great. However, the design of the bathroom shower was terrible and make having a shower very difficult. We had water going everywhere and we had limited towels. We kept asking for towels and barely got what we needed.
