Each of the 36 air-conditioned rooms includes an LCD television with satellite programming and over 50 cable channels, a private bathroom with a hair dryer and complimentary toiletries, a dining area, a fridge, and coffee and tea making facilities. Select rooms add a spa bath and a kitchenette, handy for guests settling in for a while. Family rooms are available, and daily housekeeping keeps things in order. On-site, the Meal Garden restaurant serves dinner, and room service is available if you would rather stay in. Self-service laundry facilities and a tour desk round out the practical touches, and there is a garden to enjoy. Note that only Visa and Mastercard are accepted, as debit cards and cash are not.
