"Everything are great for our anniversary little trip getaway, I hope next time their parking space will be maintained better because it looks like motel parking with the parking lines fated. Their pond garden is a little small but still pretty and clean. They have a decent nice gym room and pool bathrooms are clean and nice. Our view wasn’t fully garden view as I booked, i got the pool view, but when I turned all the window up, I got all the palm trees view, remind us of our Asian tropical hotel trip. They even waived our parking space for our anniversary that was amazing."
