    tranquil garden
    inconsistent service
    unclear breakfast system

    The garden area was a tranquil retreat with beautiful flowers.

    During my stay, the service was incredibly inconsistent, which was frustrating. I had high expectations based on the hotel's online presence, but the reality fell short. The breakfast system was unclear, leading to delays that made mornings stressful, and it felt like they were unprepared for guests' needs.

    outdated bedding
    slow service

    never have I experienced such outdated accommodations! the bedding looked and felt like it belonged in a dumpster from the 1950s. I would have at least expected a warm welcome gift for the lack of hot water. breakfast was laughably slow—clearly, they weren't prepared at all. almost thought of giving a good review, but just couldn’t.

    tropical paradise
    home atmosphere
    beautiful decor
    breakfast confusion
    laundry odor

    The Superior Chalet felt like a true home away from home. Mercy and her team excelled in hospitality. They offered alternatives promptly when we had a minor issue with the hot water. The beautifully decorated interiors and comfortable facilities made our stay quite pleasant. The garden, a tropical paradise, quickly became our favorite spot for relaxation. Dining was another highlight. each meal prepared was delightful. However, the breakfast system needs clarity. ordering the night before felt restrictive. An upgrade on the laundry service could improve guests' experiences as well, as some detergent odors lingered on clothes after washing. Overall, a wonderful retreat, just a few areas for improvement.

    disorganized breakfast

    A beautiful garden retreat

    Our stay at The Drexel House was heartwarming! Waking up to the serene garden views and enjoying breakfast al fresco set a peaceful tone for daily adventures. The welcoming atmosphere truly felt like home.

    While the ambiance was delightful, some aspects could use improvement. We faced a bit of disorganization during breakfast service, which made mornings feel rushed.

    A Hidden Gem of Tranquility and Comfort

    After an exhausting safari, arriving to this beautiful garden oasis was a dream. The incredible service from Mercy and Meredith made me feel right at home. The turn-down service and hot water bottle in bed were charming touches. Don't miss the 5-course dinner experience. every dish was beautifully presented!

    cozy atmosphere
    stunning garden
    limited dinner variety

    I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere created by the fireplace and the stunning garden view where I had breakfast. the only downside was that dinner could use more variety. I can't wait to return!
