9.4/10 Exceptional! (197 reviews)
AC was on but didn’t do a great job at circulating air. Woke up with bug bites on my hands, with new ones each morning.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (9 reviews)
We did not stay at Lenscape coterie as it was undergoing renovations and therefore not open. We were relocated to another hotel in the group Torel Saboaria where we had a wonderful room. The breakfast was superb we had lunch and dinner which were equally as good as breakfast. We cannot thank all the staff enough as everyone was so kind, helpful and attentive even to the point of providing gluten free pancakes at breakfast.
