The place was great. My only complaints are with the room and location of the room. I can loudly hear people walking up the stairs. One of the lights on the bedside didn’t work and the ac did not work either so the room was very stuffy. Comfort wasn’t great for those reasons but everything else such as the garden and walkable areas made the stay enjoyable.

Centrally located . Eco friendly property. Clean room and bathroom. No balcony in a double queen room., but looks like other rooms had it. The new renovation or may be the cleaning supplies leave a real pungent smell in the room. Not a foul smell but really strong varnish kind. But you get habituated after a while. Could have smelled better.
