It was very nice stay.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good, and the dinner options were also great. It was a bit cold in the restaurant and they put on gas heater which was quite warm and lovely.

Cons:

The room service food does not quite meet the food standard from the governors house. But the service and the staff made up for the it.
