One of the positives about Garden Place is the fact that the gardens are lush and beautiful. That however came at a price because I had a scorpion in my room. The security gentlemen at the gate were friendly. ||I booked my stay at Garden Place because they advertised breakfast being available. On my first morning there I went to the dining room and was told that no breakfast was available because of Covid. I was not told this when I checked in.
