I liked this hotel so much that I want to move in! It has everything: old world charm and service with modern facilities and good restaurants at a very reasonable price. The pool area was great and sunset happy hour at the rooftop bar should not be missed! The buffet in the Horizon restaurant is unbelievable and cheap by US standards. The breakfast buffet included in my room rate was worthy of the five star resort that is the Kingsbury. All in all highly recommended.
