Gary's Review

Room amenities needs an upgrade. There was no microwave, and kettle in the room and they don't provide those in rooms, but other than that beautiful location, very clean and hygienic rooms. KC at the reception Desk was excellent and very polite and helpful. Plenty of parking available and location is awe inspiring.
