The hotel provided complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks near the indoor garden. I found the staff very helpful and friendly, providing useful information. The rooms are well equipped, tastefully decorated, and comfortable. The bathrooms were immaculate..
My room faced the afternoon sun, so it took some time for the air conditioning and fan to cool it down.
