We had an excellent room with great views over the gardens. The hotel is well located for most of the areas that visitors would like to visit. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel could do with some upgrading in some areas and the food (breakfast) was ok and convenient!

Loved this place! Absolutely beautiful. The lobby is stunning. Staff are wonderful and extremely helpful. The beds were very comfortable and our room was very nice. Lovely selection of soaps & shampoo and conditioners supplied. We realized we were across from a park which was an amazing find. The park is huge with fountains, bridges and statues scattered throughout the many acres of roses and flowers.
