18/10 Exceptional! (866 reviews)
The property is beautiful it’s a funny set up lots of live residents and the surrounding gardens are beautiful and rooms are comfortable. Room service is pretty average to say the least. Had to,ask for coffee on 2 occasions and beds were not made up. Birds crapped all over the car so asked for a hose to wash it off. Manager didn’t know what a hose was until I explained it to him then couldn’t help me. Gardens in the residential area are stunning.
