- Review: Friendly and courteous staff. Our room was clean and I loved the design of the closet that opened from both the hallway and from inside the bathroom. The wooden clothes hamper is also a very nice feature that I've not seen in other hotels. The only negative was a mildew/chlorine smell (possibly from the pool on the same floor?). Very comfortable bed. The breakfast selection was wonderful and included plenty of Indian, Asian, and continental choices; excellent coffee and attentive staff., by Rose, February 4, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent
