the breakfast was delicious, and the service was consistent. i had a family room, and it was more spacious than expected, though the air conditioning was quite loud.

The hotel informed me that they do not provide an online voucher. They only provide a hard copy. they refused to post one without me sending them a stamp first, though i was willing to pay extra.

the hotel had beautiful gardens. the food was great and reasonably priced (i especially liked the breakfast buffet).

i encountered a problem with the bathroom. there was no handwash available, and when i mentioned it at checkout, the staff stated it was just being delivered to the room. i find this lack of basic amenities unacceptable.
