I found the breakfast basket delicious and plentiful. It was enough for both breakfast and lunch. The hotel accommodated vegetarian needs beautifully. Staff members were very friendly and helpful too. Laundry facilities were available in my building. The location made it easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and tour pick-up points.
The showers in the bathroom lacked a curtain. Water splattered on the floor.
