Wonderful King's Gardens View

I booked a Standard Double Room, but I got upgraded to a Double Suite. This room was spacious and provided a wonderful view of the King's Gardens with its lake. I saw beautiful flowers and bushes just outside my window. I also appreciated the printed menus for both breakfast and dinner.
