mixed feelings on stay

breakfast choices crowd control
the hotel location was acceptable for exploring the area.
I found the breakfast choices not worth the money i paid. there was always too much crowd in front of the hotel. This was irritating when i arrived. something needs to be done about crowd control.

The location is excellent. I could easily explore the White Town. The historical building is beautiful, especially the courtyard swimming pool. I found the staff very polite and helpful. My room was spacious and clean. It included excellent amenities.
The wardrobe should have been taller, I had difficulties hanging my clothes.
