“This older bungalow, though centrally located near Victoria Park, appears to be struggling with upkeep; I understand that some guests have found the rooms tired and in need of deep repair. However, the staff's attentiveness has been widely noted, and the on-site Chinese restaurant attempts to compensate with garden views and happy hour. I think, with some investment, this could be a very charming place.”
