The Botanical Gardens

4/10 Poor
"Scruffy environment unbecoming of a ‘botanical garden’. Internet very weak. No drinking water available. Hand soap was watered down & nearly empty. No soap or shampoo in the shower. I’m surprised that Expedia registers this property & they wanted me to pay again. Only positive was a comfortable bed."
