The Main House Suite I occupied featured air conditioning. The bathroom had a spacious layout and included two separate sinks. I also found a rainfall shower there. The complimentary car park made arrival very easy.
The powdered pepper in the restaurant's salt and pepper shakers seemed out of place.
