H.R. Palace seems to be an old establishment because wherever we went shopping or sight-seeing, people immediately recognized the place. That made it easy for things to be delivered to the hotel! Otherwise, it is in a very convenient location to the station and also to M.I. Rd where all the stores and boutiques are. The hotel is in an old manor house style of building, parts of which have been renovated and upgraded with modern facilities, and an elevator has also been added. Rooms are large and ours even had a veranda, which made the room airy. The beds were superfirm. Room service was helpful, and cleaned everyday, and the reception desk went way beyond their normal duty to even ship some of our things. A clean, comfortable, no-frills hotel, but a good stay overall.
