generally good stay

quiet room finishing touch guest umbrella full drawer small shower clothes issue
the rooms were in a separate building from the restaurant so they were quiet. the room had nice finishing touches like robes and toiletries. umbrellas were available at the entrance for guest use (i found this quite handy when it rained).
The dressing table drawer was full of ladies clothes. I feel someone should have checked this. the shower cubicle was small. i am 5ft 10 and i am not on the large side, still it felt small.
