Christar Villas Hotel
Parking may be an issue which seems to be a practice of blocking cars in. If you’re here for a critical meeting, I would ensure your transportation is near the front gate. Other than that, all was okay for pricing.

The Gardens
Safe and secure environment. Quiet and clean. Very comfy room for short stays. A little hard to locate based on gps (located off the main road, but my gps had me turn several times for no reason) but good otherwise. Would recommend.
