fab stay near botany bay!
fantastic location plentiful parking smashing food
i adored the fantastic location! plentiful parking made everything so easy. the smashing food quality and service in the restaurant impressed me (i'm already thinking about my next meal there!).
honestly, the room got too warm and i couldn't open the window because of the nearby kitchen exhaust, a bit of a bummer.
