The staff were extremely helpful and provided us with boots and umbrellas after we told them we wanted to venture out into the rain to view the monkey park. Our dining experiences were equally as pleasant with the staff greeting us and explaining the menus to us in detail. The area around the hotel was quiet and peaceful as well. On top of that all, the private bath offered was the last relaxing piece of the puzzle we needed. Thank you to all the staff members present! ##### Anthony Drew Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Casey 18 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Incredible stay.
